INTRODUCTION.

AMONGST the documents at the Public Record Office, to which
the local historian directs his earliest attention, those known
under the title of Inquisitiones post mortem occupy the foremost
place. To the topographer and the genealogist they are equally
valuable. There is hardly a family of any importance between the
thirteenth and seventeenth centuries whose genealogy may not be
confirmed and enlarged by a reference to these most interesting
documents. Parochial and local history are also indebted to them
for a mass of information unequalled elsewhere.

These inquisitions are termed Chancery Inquisitions, because
the writ directing them generally issued out of the Court of Chancery.
They extend in an almost unbroken series over nearly four and a
half centuries, commencing early in the reign of Henry III., and
only terminating with the Civil Wars in the seventeenth century,
when the feudal system finally broke down, to be abolished by law
at the Restoration.

Inquisitiones post mortem were, strictly speaking, surveys made
by an officer of the Crown, usually the Escheator, of the estates
held by tenants in chief at the time of their death. The object of
this survey was fiscal, to ascertain the annual value of the deceased's
property, so as to enable the Exchequer to calculate the amount
payable by the heir on succeeding to his ancestor's estate, or as it
was called his relief. The age of the heir was another subject of
inquiry, as if a minor the king would be entitled to retain the
property and receive the rents until such heir came of age.

Besides the inquisitions taken on the death of tenants in chief,
there will be found in this volume many of persons who did not hold
direct of the king. This would happen if a chief lord's estate was
in the king's hand, whether from escheat, minority of the heir, or
any other cause, when the king stood in the stead of the tenant in
chief, and received the fine or relief which would in the ordinary
course of events have been payable by such sub-tenant to his chief
lord.

iv. INTRODUCTION.

For genealogical purposes these inquisitions are without rival
amongst our records. They are constantly quoted by Dugdale in
his Baronage as evidence of unimpeachable authority, and in this
judgment he is supported by all later vi^riters on the subject. In
addition to valuable and often minute surveys of the deceased's
estates, the inquisition frequently states the name of the widow,
and whether still surviving ; that of the heir and his age ; besides
much miscellaneous genealogical information as to brothers and
sisters and other relatives.

In the time of Edward II. the writ directing the inquisition
contained a query as to the date of the death of the deceased, but
this is wanting in the inquisitions printed here. The only exception
is the statement on p. 216 «, where the date of death is endorsed on
one of the writs directing the inquisition, but perhaps wrongly.
Although there is little doubt that as a rule the dates in these inqui-
sitions are correct, still cases do arise in which it is manifest that
there was an error somewhere, as the dates given cannot be made to
agree. One very striking instance occurs in this volume in relation
to the age of the heir of no less important a person than Edmund
de Lascy, Lord of the Honour of Pontefract. In his own inquisi-
tion made in respect of his Craven estates (p. 49), the jurors found
that his true heir was Henry de Lascy, who was eight 3'ears and a
half and one month old on the feast of St. Mary Magdalen, 42
Henry III. (July 22, 1258), from which it is clear that he was born
on Dec. 22, 1249. The Pontefract and Leeds juries (pp. 55, 65)
disagree with this, and concur in stating that his son Henry was
eight years and a half one month and six days old on the feast of
St. James the Apostle, July 25, in the same year, which would make
his birth three days earlier. Another inquisition, that of Roger de
Quency, Earl of Winchester (p. 98), differs far more seriously, as it
states that Henry de Lascy, the Earl's next heir, would be fourteen
on the day of the Epiphany, 1264-5, which would make him born on
Jan. 6, 1250-1, a difference of no less than one year and three weeks.

Notwithstanding these discrepancies, the age of the heir, when
a minor, can usually be relied on as correct ; but if he were of full
age no trust can be placed in the statement about his age, as it was
quite immaterial for the purposes of the inquisition. It is possible
to detect other small chronological errors. In one portion of the
Inq.p.m. of Peter de Brus III. (p. 202), dated Oct. 22, 1279, Roger
de Merlay is spoken of as still holding two knights' fees in Burton
Agnes, though as we know from No. lvi. he was dead nearly twenty

INTRODUCTION. v.

years previous. In the Holderness portion of the same inquisition
it is accurately stated that his lands were in the possession of his
heirs (Ibid.) Of even greater value for genealogical purposes are the
Proofs of age, taken to show that a minor had attained his majority.
They contain the depositions of the witnesses called to prove
the age of the heir. Each witness, after stating his own age, gives
some reason why the day of the heir's birth or baptism, generally
one and the same, should have impressed itself on his memory.
Marriage, or the birth or death of a child, are the reasons generally
given, but many other, and often very curious ones, are alleged why
the witness remembered the fact. No. lxxx. contains a very good
specimen of this class of record, but is less interesting to Yorkshire-
men, as George de Cantilupe, whose proof of age it is, was born in
the neighbourhood of Bristol, from whence all the witnesses came.
Unfortunately it is the only one of the kind occurring in this volume.

Connected with the same subject are assignments of dower to
the widow, of which No. cvi. is a fair example, although by no
means so full and interesting as is often the case.

Besides this genealogical information these inquisitions contain
a mass of other matter no less valuable and of more general interest.
The surveys of the different estates afford information to be found
nowhere else. The lists of the persons holding by knight service,
together with the names of the places where the fees were situated,
are most useful in tracing out the descents of the owners of manors.
It is, however, in the cases where the chief lord himself held the
manor, that these surveys are the most minute and full of interest.
In such cases the manor was generally divided into three parts, that
held by the lord in his own hands, or as it was called in demesne ;
that held by free tenants ; and lastly that held in villenage, whether
the tenant was called bondman, villain, or gresman. The inquisition
taken in 1254 on the death of Sir John de Longvilers (No. xli.) gives
a very clear idea of this division. AH his five manors were surveyed
in much the same manner, and except that at Oakenshaw there was
nothing in demesne, there is little difference between them. First
the capital messuage and the demesne lands are valued, and with
them anything else held by the lord, as a dovehouse, mill, brewhouse,
house, park, warren. Next follow the bondmen's holdings and rent,
with the value of their customs and services, also whether they give
merchet and legewyt, and are subject to tallage. Last, those of the
free tenants, whether holding by charter or knight service. Besides
the services in chivalry due from those holding by knight service,

vi. INTRODUCTION.

the free tenants paid a rent, either pecuniary or nominal, as a pound
of cumin or pepper or a bundle of arrows.

The enumeration of the customs and services to be rendered by
the tenants of the manor are of especial interest, as they throw a
flood of light on the condition of classes of persons about whom we
can only get incidental notices. The persons who held in bondage
may be divided into two classes, villains, who normally held a bovate
in the common field, and the cottars, who held a cottage and perhaps
a few acres. At Elmsall, near Pontefract (p. gg), it is distinctly
stated that the bondmen there did no works, only paying a rent of
los. the bovate, but this is exceptional. Although the customs and
services are often given in their money equivalents, it was probably
only done for the purpose of making the valuation. As a rule at
this early period the services and customs had not been commuted
for money. The bovate, a variable quantity of land, ranging from
five to twenty-four acres, being the eighth part of a carucate, was
the unit by which these services were reckoned. The following table
of the services for a year rendered by a bondman, Jordan, who held
two bovates of land in Healthwaite Hill, near Weeton, in the parish
of Harewood (p. g4), give a very fair idea of their general nature : —

The other holders of bovates there rendered services according
to the size of their holdings, except Alan de Wygedon, who did no
services.

The cottars, besides a money payment, rendered in some cases
days'-works in autumn, and one of them had to make distresses and
keep prisoners.

" Food at the lord's cost.

INTRODUCTION. vii.

The services of cottars are set out at much greater length in the
extent of the manor of Pocklington (p. 75), in the East Riding, made
in 1260. The manor had formed part of the estates of the Earl of
Albemarle : —

Reaping two days in autumn 01

Turning hay one day and making hay one day .... 01
Assisting to make summonses and distresses . . . . o oj

I 3

In the above the lord in no case provided food. It was calculated
that if he gave the man his food , when he reaped two days in
autumn his services were worth nothing. The making summons
and distresses and keeping prisoners in fetters seems to have been
the peculiar duty of cottars. It is stated that two of the cottars at
Pocklington did not do so because they did the same works (except
suit of court) as the tenants of the bovates, in this case called soke-
men. The gresmen did the same services as the cottars, except in
making summons and distresses and keeping prisoners, but they
had in addition to carry their lord's writs within the East Riding,
and do some other services, which are uncertain from the bad state
of the manuscript.

At Grindleton in Craven (p. 48), the holder of a bovate, which
here contained twelve acres with meadow, paid 15. ^. a year rent,
made three cartings to Pontefract, ploughed one day and mowed
nine days in autumn, which was worth 2s. Sd., the rent being 45. the
bovate.

At Buttercrambe (p. 243) the items of the services rendered by
a free tenant holding eight bovates are set down. They resemble in
their character ihose rendered by bondmen, except that it is men-
tioned that he had to do suit to the lord's court and mill, and convey
the materials requisite for the repair of the mill and milUpond.

It was by means of these services that the lord was enabled to
cultivate his demesne lands, and his share in the common field.
The services though onerous were fixed, and if the lord had a right
to demand them the tenant had a reciprocal right to claim employ-
ment. In fact neither party could get rid of the other, a condition
of affairs which must have given rise to a great deal of discontent
on both sides. That such a cumbrous and wasteful system of agri-

viii. INTRODUCTION.

culture should have endured so long shews the might of custom.
Some idea of the practical working of this system on a small scale
in modern times may be gathered by glancing at the Reports of the
Poor Law Commissioners who visited the Eastern Counties about
1833. There the pauper, or daytal man, as he was often called, had
his relief doled out to him by working for the farmers of the parish in
turn. The man knew he could not be discharged and would be paid
however badly he did his work. Under these circumstances it is
hardly necessary to add that pauper labour was dear at any price.
Something of the same kind must have frequently occurred in the
middle ages, and the substitution of a pecuniary equivalent for the
different services must have been a change equally beneficial and
welcome to both parties.

Besides the Inquisitiones post mortem and other documents of
a kindred nature, this collection includes inquisitions of another
type. These latter are technically called Inquisitiones ad quod
dampnum, which begin to form a separate series in the reign of
Edward II. Their title very well describes their nature. They were
in fact inquisitions made by jurors to discover whether the king or
any other person would suffer loss, if the petition prayed for were
granted. The answer of the jury was almost invariably favourable,
so it is most likely that an inquisition was not taken unless the
petitioner knew that his prayer would be favourably reported on.

The subject matter of these inquisitions is very various. No.
XXI. relates to the diversion of a road at York ; No. v. to illegal
alienations by a tenant in chief; Nos x., xiv. as to the liability to
repair the king's gaol of the forest in York. By means of these
inquisitions the delinquencies of important officials in the county,
like the sheriffs, were brought to light (Nos. lxxiv., lxxix., lxxxvii.,
cxi.j. They were very useful too in defining and restricting the
jurisdiction claimed by the great nobles. No. lxiii. shows how very
ready such persons were to extend their power, even where they had
small show of right on their side

The subjects of these inquisitions are too various to enumerate
at length. In one case the question for the jurors was the right to
a whale stranded in Filey Bay (No. cv.), in another (No. xcv.) to
market tolls. Lunacy (No. cxiii.), boundaries (Nos. cxx., cxxii.),
common of pasture (No. xciii.), and most frequently the rent for a
year and a day from felon's lands, which belonged to the king, were
amongst the subjects inquired into.

INTRODUCTION. ix.

The history of Scarborough receives a great deal of illustration
from these records. A very exhaustive survey of the dilapidations
of the Castle in the year 1260 is given in No. xlvii. These no doubt
originated from the bad government of Henry III. In 1275 the quay
had fallen into such ruin that merchants dare no longer come to the
town (No. xciv.). Nos. xxv. and cxxviii. afford very interesting
information about the tenure and taxation of real property in Scar-
borough. As early as 53 Hen. III. (p. 220 «) the Burgesses of
Scarborough had authority by royal charter to prevent land within
their borough being alienated in mortmain without their consent.

At a slightly later period inquisitions preparatory to granting
licences in mortmain became very common, but in this volume only
very few occur. Although there is a provision in Magna Carta
(c. 43) against alienating in mortmain, which was confirmed and
extended by 7 Edw. I., c. 3, it was not until the Statute of West-
minster II., passed in 13 Edw. I. (c. 32), which is later in date than
any inquisition printed in this volume, that it was enacted, in order
to defeat fictitious suits whereby the earlier statutes had been evaded,
that the religious men claiming lands should have their right decided
by a jury.

No. cxxxii., dated 10 Edw. I., however, is an inquiry in the
form usual at a later period, whether the king or anyone else would
suffer damage if licence were given to make a grant in mortmain.
No. Lxxxiv. is not an inquiry under the Statutes of Mortmain, but
solely as to the mental capacity of a man who had sold the manor
of Swinton in Ryedale to the Prior of Malton. The sale was
attempted to be upset by the vendor's son, on the ground that his
father was on his death-bed and not of sound mind at the time of the
sale. The jury, however, upheld the sale and found in favour of the
Prior.

In a few rare cases old customs are incidentally referred to. In
one case (p. i8i) the custom of dowering a wife at the door on
leaving church is mentioned. Here the husband's father was still
alive and in seisin of the land, so it was only by his consent that
the wife could be dowered. Had the husband been in possession of
the lands himself, the wife's right could not have been questioned,
but as the son predeceased the father, he never was in seisin of
the land, so the wife's title was dependent on the assent of the
father. There is another custom mentioned (p. 265), about which
more precise information would be very valuable. The inquisition
in question is unfortunately imperfect, but it would appear that in

X. INTRODUCTION.

the village of Byram, in the parish of Brotherton, near Ferrybridge,
it was the custom for a bridegroom passing through that place with
his bride, to present the inhabitants with a ball, called in the original
pelota. Under what circumstances the custom arose, or what sort
of a ball it was, does not appear.

This volume is the first attempt to print at length any consider-
able number of these inquisitions, whether in the original, or as here
translated. The attempts made heretofore have either been very
limited in their scope or poor in execution. The earliest in date is
the Calendarium Inquisitionum post mortem, published by the
direction of the first Record Commission, appointed in 1800, at the
enormous cost of £9,800. The volumes purport to contain a list of
names of the persons in relation to whom the inquisition was taken,
and of the places mentioned in it. Unfortunately the work of
transcribing was entrusted to very incompetent hands, so that the
Calendar swarms with errors. Names of persons and places have
been frequently misread, and either no county given, or a wrong
one. Anyone consulting the corrected Calendar with manuscript
additions in the Long Room in the Public Record Office, can easily
prove the truth of these assertions. The next attempt was in 1865,
when the Calendarium Genealogicum was published by the Govern-
ment in two volumes, under the editorship of Mr. Charles Roberts.
Here the work was well done, and the reading of the names can be
trusted, but, as the title suggests, the object was exclusively
genealogical. With these exceptions, and a volume of inquisitions
during the Stuart period, printed for the Lancashire and Cheshire
Record Society, nothing systematic with a view to getting the
inquisitions into print has ever been attempted.

In the present case an effort has been made to print in English
every inquisition relating to Yorkshire, and in cases where there are
inquisitions for other counties, relating to persons connected with
Yorkshire, all genealogical information has been carefully extracted.
It is quite possible that some Yorkshire inquisitions during the
period contained in this volume have been omitted. In some cases
the county is not given, and in others inquisitions belonging to other
counties are placed under Yorkshire. No. liii. is an instance of the
latter kind of mistake, an error pointed out by Mr. Richard Holmes,
of Pontefract, after the inquisition was in type. There a Suffolk
inquisition, relating to Robert de Clerbec of Aketon in that county,
is calendared under Yorkshire. The error is repeated-in 13 Edw. I.,
No. 21, in the case of Robert de Clerbec's son John. The inquisi-

INTRODUCTION. xi.

tions which were passed over in consequence of misdescriptions of
this nature have been placed in Appendix I. Any additional ones
which may hereafter be discovered will be printed in the next
volume of inquisitions.

The originals of some of the more curious inquisitions are given
in Appendix II. Had space and money allowed the number of the
originals might with advantage have been very much increased.

The transcription of these inquisitions in all cases except
Appendix I., and the translation in the great majority, have been
made by Mr. J. A. C. Vincent, assisted by Mr. Impey. In the few
cases where the inquisition had not been turned into English the
translation has been made by the editor. The members of the
Society are very much indebted to Mr. Vincent for the great trouble
he has taken to insure accuracy. Some of the inquisitions, and
often the most important, such as Nos. xlv. (Eadmund de Lascy)
and Lxxxii. (Peter de Brus), would at first sight seem utterly
illegible, or at best only to be made to yield up disjointed sentences,
yet by skill and perseverance such almost hopeless cases have been
made out with only small and generall}' unimportant omissions.
Before many years have passed these inquisitions, and not a few
others, such as that of the Earl of Albemarle (No. XLViii.) will be
faded past recovery. The work of printing has only been begun
just in time, and must be persevered in, if the later inquisitions,
many of which are already almost illegible from bad usage and a
plentiful use of a strong infusion of galls, are to be preserved for
posterity.

Mr. W. Paley Baildon, Barrister-at-Law, of Lincoln's Inn, has
not only translated the inquisitions contained in Appendix I., but
has also rendered inestimable help by comparing the proofs with the
originals, and in not a few cases making valuable additions and
emendations. The editor also wishes to return thanks for much
useful advice and counsel during the progress of the work. Mr.
Richard Holmes has kindly given his assistance in many cases,
notably in Nos. xlv. and lv., where his local knowledge enabled
him to make many valuable suggestions. The Society is indebted
to the Honorary Secretary for the pains he has taken in compiling
the Glossary, and also in many ways for the help and advice he has
given the editor in the preparation of this work; and to Mr. J. W.
Clay for much useful information on genealogical points.

The editor is responsible for the Introduction, Index, and most
of the notes. The notes are chiefly devoted to the identification of

xii. INTRODUCTION.

the places and persons mentioned in the inquisitions. The authorities
are given for all staternents, so that it is hoped the reader will be in a
position to correct the errors which have crept into the notes. It may
be as well to point out here the difference between two authorities
with very similar titles, which are frequently cited in the notes. The
Excerpta e Rotulis Finium are two volumes in print published by
the Record Commission in 1835, and edited by Mr. Charles Roberts,
who also edited the Calendarium Genealogicum mentioned above.
The Rotuli Finium are manuscript books in the Public Record Office,
in which Mr. Roberts collected information for the reign of Edward
I. and I — 7 Edward II., similar to that contained in the Excerpta e
Rotulis Finium, but which has unfortunately remained unprinted
up to the present time. Besides his indebtedness to these works
edited by Mr. Roberts, the editor wishes to express his obligations
to Langdale's Dictionary and Gazetteer of Yorkshire, and to Kirkby's
Inquest, edited in a most masterly manner for the Surtees Society by
Mr. Scaife. These two last mentioned books have been invaluable
in identifying the different places mentioned.

Before concluding, the editor desires to express his deep regret
at the great delay which has occurred in the appearance of this
volume, his only excuse is that it has for the most part been
unavoidable. In the first place, the delay was originally caused by
the great prevalence of fog during the winter of 1 890-1, when the
transcript was in course of preparation. The printing also has been
a tedious business, owing to the pains taken to insure accuracy by a
comparison of the proofs with the originals, which in some cases
could only be done on a bright day. It is hoped that the degree of
accuracy which has been attained will more than compensate for the
delay which it has caused.

de Chauncy, lately dead, was seised by the Sheriff of Yorkshire, and the King com-
manded him to keep it until further notice (vol. i., p. i8o). On 20 March following,
the King informed the Sheriff that he had taken the homage of Roger de Chauncy for
five knight's fees, which his brother Walter de Chauncy (whose heir he (Roger) was)
held in chief, having taken security for £2^ to be paid for his relief, he was to give
Roger seisin of all the lands which came to him by inheritance (vol. i., p. 182). On
18 Dec, 1238, the King commanded Roger de Essex to hold the lands of Roger de
Chauncy, which had been taken into the King's hand, until otherwise ordered (vol.
i., p. 317). On 2nd March following, the King took the homage of Robert son of
Roger de Chauncy for five knight's fees, which his father held of him in chief; and
also reduced his relief from £2$ to 25 marcs, which sum he was to pay at the rate
of five marcs a year. The Sheriff of Yorkshire was commanded to take security for
the payment of the 25 marcs, and then to give him seisin of his father's lands (vol.
i., p. 321). On 21 July, 1246, the King granted to Robert de Creppinge, for his
service and for a fine of ;£^ioo, the wardship of the land and heir of Robert de
Chauncy and also his marriage (vol. i., p. 458). On 5 May, 1249, the Sheriff of
Yorkshire is commanded to take into the King's hand twelve bovates of land in
Fridaythorpe, of which Margery Basset who held them by knight's service of Thomas
son and heir of Robert de Chauncy, now in ward to the King, died seised in fee, and
to keep them safely until otherwise ordered (vol. ii., p. 53). On 24 Sept., 1268, the
King took the homage of Thomas de Chauncy, son and heir of Robert de Chauncy,
for all the lands and tenements which his father held of the King in chief on the
day of his death, and restored to him those lands and tenements. John de Reygate,
Escheator citra Trentam, was commanded to give full seisin to Thomas of all lands

THE King's Gaol of the Forest in York.

[31 Hen. III. No. 40.]
Writ dated at Westminster, 13 Feb., 31st year {1246-7).

T NQUISITION whether the King's gaol of the forest, which is in
-*- the keeping of David le Lardiner in the city of York, ought
to be made (fieri debeat) at the King's cost or at that of David,
because he has that custody of fee, made by William de Barton,

sutton,'' John Wandelarde, William de Lillinge, William le
Establer of Hoton, William le Bret, Adam Gaoler (Gaolarium),
William Bonifice, William Romanum, and Richard de Camera,
who say upon their oath that the King has had his said gaol in
the city of York for keeping incarcerated those who were taken
for trespass of his forest, which gaol David le Lardener<^ has now
in his keeping of fee. Before David or any of his antecessors
were enfeoffed by the King's charter of custody of the said
gaol, repair was made at the King's cost, and never after was it
necessary to renew it ; but in the time of Geoffrey de Nevill,
Chamberlain of England, who was keeper of the forest, Sheriff
of Yorkshire,<i and keeper of the King's castles in the same
county, the said gaol was repaired in some part ; so, that is to
say, that the timber used was taken in the King's forest of
Galtris by him (Geoffrey) and the repairs made at the King's
cost. For this reason the jurors say that the gaol ought to be
repaired at the King's cost, and not at the cost of the said
David.

which had come to them from their ancestor Gaufrid, son of Pagan, who was
seised thereof in the time of Henry I. ; from Gaufrid the right descended to
William Trussebut ; and from William to Gaufrid Trussebut ; and from Gaufrid to
Robert Trussebut, grandfather of the said Robert, and father of Agatha and Eularia.

p. 303), died without issue. William de Ros, Agatha's heir, was her grandnephew,
being the son of Robert de Ros, called Fursan, who was the son of Everard de Ros
and Roesia Trussebut (Rievaulx Chartulary, p. 360). It is very probable that the
family of Ros got the water-bougets or huts, their well known bearing, from the
Trussebuts.

» This name seems to have entirely disappeared. No place with a similar
name occurs amongst the places which were in the soke of Easingwold in Domesday,
except a certain Hotterne which is probably Hutton Sessay. At a later period,
towards the end of the twelfth century, a Bernard Milner ( Molendinarius ) gave the
Priory of Durham two bovates in villa de Hetona, which Marmeduc Darel had given
him for his homage and service ; a gift which was confirmed by Marmeduc's grand-
son Marmeduc de Arell', with the addition of a toft and rent of twelve pence
(Durham. Charters, 3'!'» i™^, Ebor., Nos. 6 and 7;. Bernard's seal, which is
attached to another deed in the same collection (No. 5) about land at Thirsk, is very
curious. It is circular, ij inches in diameter, and bears a hand issuing from the
sinister, holding a mill pick, with a square object on either side like a cushion with
a mark (a knob?) in the centre, + SIGILL' BERNARDI PVGILIS. The two
S's are reversed. From his seal it would appear he was a prize-fighter as well as a
miller. The place is not mentioned in Kirkby's Inquest, but it was still known in
Tudor times, as it is named more than once in the Yorkshire Fines (Tudor), vol. i.,
pp. 45, 117, 259, and 302. In No. xL. a Thomas Maunsel of Heton is mentioned
among the assailants of the Abbot of Byland's Grange, at Wilden.

XIII. Idonea de ViPONT.a Custody of Lands.

[31 Hen. III. No. 35.]
Writ dated at Windsor, 3 June, 31st year (1247).

INQUISITION made by Roger de Stockewell, Richard de
Barneby, Thomas de Aula of the same, Richard Pluket,
Adam de Scauceby, William Talun, Alexander de Stocbrig',
Thomas de Annington, Osbert be Luversal, Richard de Len-
neder, Oto of the same, and William de Elleres, who say that
Peter de Mauley (Malo lacu) on his departure from the parts
of York, when he took his journey to the Holy Land, granted
to Sir Gerard la Grue the first wardship or escheat which should
fall to him, and enjoined one Reginald, his steward, that he
should cause him to have such when time and place offered.
And when the lady Idonea de Vipont deceased, Reginald put
Gerard in seisin of the lands of Westerfeud^ and Bautre, because
the custody of the said lands ought to appertain to the said
Peter. Gerard was in seisin eight days, and then came the
bailiff of Sir Nicholas de Molis, then Sheriff, and he removed
Gerard and his men from the custody of the land. Gerard had
the seisin aforesaid on All Saints' day in the 26th year (i Nov.,
1 241), and at the Circumcision of Our Lord following (6 Jan.,
1241-2), the King's bailiffs took seisin of the lands which were
of Sir Peter de Mauley. =

In Westerfeud there are five bovates of land in demesne
and one bovate in villenage, every one of which is worth by the
year half a marc, and in rent of assize i6j. '^d. In Bautre no
demesne, but in rent of assize eight marcs ; also a mill, a market,
and all manner of other casual profit (aventure), which are worth
yearly twelve marcs. Sum, £\t 2s. lid.

" Daughter and heiress of John de Busli, and widow of Robert de Vipont. She
and her husband claimed the Honour of Tickhill against Alice Countess of Eu
(Yorkshire Archceological journal, vol. ix, p. 290). On 2nd March, 1228, the
Sheriff of Yorkshire was ordered to inquire what had become of the chattels of
Robert de Vipont, which were sold after his death, and into whose possession they
had come, and to cause Idonea, his widow, to recover the 6ame and have them
valued, after taking security for her answering to the King for their price when
called upon (Excerptae Rotulis Finium, vol. i., p. 168J. On 19 Oct., 1 241, the
Sheriff of Buckinghamshire was ordered to seize the lands lately belonging to her,
both those she held in inheritance, and those she held in dower (Ibid., vol. i., p.
357 j. On 13 March following, Alice, Countess of Eu (Comitissa Augi), made a
fine with the King of one hundred marcs, for having the custody of the lands of
Idonea de Vipont, which were of her (the Countess's) fee, to the lawful age of the
heirs of the said Idonea (Ibid., vol. i., p. 371^. She granted considerable privileges
to Bawtry, which she had inherited from her father (Hunter's South Yorkshire, vol.

THE King's Gaol of the Forest in York*.

[31 Hen. III. No. 57.]
Writ dated at Wodestoke, 25 July, 31 year (1247).

Inquisition — if David Lardener, who has of fee the keeping of
-*- the King's gaol of the forest in the county of York, ought
to construct and repair it at his own cost, or whether this should
be done at the cost of the King — made by William Boniface,
William de Yolton, Richard de Camera, Michael de Yolton,
William le Stabeler, William de Galmethorpe, William Luvel,
Nicholas de Alene, Gervase de Routheclive, William le Bret, and
Ralph de Graynesby, who say upon their oath that the gaol
was constructed by the King at his own cost long before any
antecessor of the said David was enfeoffed of the custody ; and
always before, as need arose, the goal was repaired at the King's
cost, as well in David's time as in that of his antecessors. So
they say that the gaol ought to be constructed and repaired,
when necessary, at the cost of the King.

King John. William de Fortibus, Earl of Albemarle, John Hansard, and Alexander
de Hilton went at the same time. In 1242 the King let to Gerard La Grue the
lands formerly belonging to Peter de Mauley, at an annual rent of five hundred
marcs, he keeping up the Castle of Mulgrave (Mulegrive) at his own cost. The
next year he was ordered to surrender the lands to Guido de Russilun, who had a
grant of them until the majority of the heir (Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, vol. i., pp.

XVI. Alexander de Ryville.

, [33 Hen. III. No. 71.]
Writ dated at Winchester, 27 May, 33rd year (1249).

INQUISITION, whether Alexander de Ryvill taken and detained
in the King's prison at York for the death of John de
Neusum, of which Adam de Neusum appeals him, is appealed
because he is guilty, or by malice and hatred (odio et atia) and
if not guilty who is guilty, made by Philip de Mileforde, John de
Mileforde, Hugh de Ecclesthorpe, William de Gunnulton, Robert
de Langewaythe, Ralph de Mileforde, Hugh Gernun, William son
of Alexander, Robert de Clifforde, Nicholas de Hoylwode(?),''
William son of William of Fenton, and Roger de Leuenaton,
who say upon their oath that Alexander de Ryvill is not guilty
of the death of John de Neusum, and that he is appealed by
Adam de Neusum, through the malice and hatred of Brother
Nicholas de Aske manager (Husbandi) of the Grange of Lede,
who procured Adam to appeal him out of revenge, because
Alexander obstructed the water of the grange-mill of Lede,
wherefrom (un {_de\ ) the master and brethren of the Hospital of
S. Leonard in York removed the said mill ; and because Alex-
ander hindered the said Brother Nicholas from raising a hedge
in the common of Lede (Et quia idem Alexander impedivit
dictum fratrem, Nickolaum levare quandam hayani in communa
de Lede). And they say that Thomas Stan, born in Notton,
slew the said John de Neusum.

" " Item dicunt predicti juratores, quod dicta Philippa nata fuit in Anglia, et
quod terram habuit in Normannia, et illam reliquit pro terra sua in Anglia : et
melius intelligunt quod dicta Philippa Anglica fuit quam Nermann [ica]." No.
XXXVI., also refers to her. Hunter (South Yorkshire, vol. i., p. 363) says, "This
was during the troubles between Lewis and Henry. Lewis expelled all the English
from France, and Henry confiscated all the lands of the French in England. Phil-
ippa de Tilli appears to have brought the question to issue with the King, and to
have been finally unsuccessful, for from this time the name of Tilli disappears from
the district, a family which had very great possessions, whose cross is still one of
the ornaments of Doncaster, but of whom we should probably have known more
had not their allegiance been divided between the crowns of England and France."

Mirefeld, John de Alta Ripa, Thomas de Heden, John del Hil',
Sampson de Gilhusum, Robert son of Richard of Mirfi^ud,
Alexander of the same, Roger Alayn, and John de Birstal, who
say that Alexander de Nevill''- had in Nunington two carucates
and two bovates of land in demesne, which he held of the Abbot
of S. Mary's, York ; of which every bovate contains seven acres,
and is worth by the year 6s. Sum, ioSj. There is a capital

He held nothing of the King in demesne in this county ;
and Alexander his son is his next heir, aged twelve years and
more.t"

» Mr. J. C. Brook, Rouge Croix, in a letter to the Rev. J. Ismay, Vicar of ■
Mirfield, dated 13 Jan., 1775, after stating that he had made large collections for
the History of the West Riding of Yorkshire, says that after the Conquest Sweyn
the son of Aluric obtained a regrant of the Manor of Mirfield (having previously
been the possessor), to be held of Ilbert de Lacy as of his Honour of Pontefract.
" He, Sweyn, had a son Adam, who had two daughters, who divided his estate,
and Mirfield fell to the share of Amabilia, who was married, first to Wm. Neville,
secondly to Simon de Crevequer ; by the first she had a daughter, Sarah, married
to Thomas de Burgh, whose posterity enjoyed an estate in Mirfield, and had the
patronage of the living. By Crevequer she had also one daughter called Cecilia,
married to Walter de Neville, who in her right became Lord of Mirfield. These
Nevilles possessed it several generations, but they became extinct temp. Hen. III.,
when Alexander de Neville died sine prole 37 of that reign, leaving five sisters,
who married Neville, Folenfant, Newmarshe, Tyas, and Heton. Neville and
Folenfant quit claimed their shares of the Manor of Mirfield to one Adam de
Pomfret, as appears by writings in my possession, who, I take it, was the same
person with Adam de Newmarshe, who married the fourth daughter . . . and
the same person or his posterity probably afterwards took the name of Mirfield, for
Pomfret's share came to that family. Tyas's moiety went by marriage of two co-
heirs to the families of Rockley, of Rockley near Barnsley, and Wentworth, of
North Elmsall. The family of Mirfield who inherited Pomfret's share, continued
at Mirfield many generations, but at last expired in an heir female, married first to

by William Haget, Richard Mansel, William de Galmethorp,
Nicholas de Alne, William le Estabiler, Richard de Rivers
(Ripariis), John de Hoby, Robert de Raschelfe, Walter de

marcs come wholly from three carucates of land which were the

Eland, secondly to Jenkinson, and she transferred all her interest in Mirfield to Sir
John Wentworth, of North Elmsall, in exchange for the Manor of Dighton."

Bigot, the King's Marshal, by knight's service, and that land is
worth by the year 5^. He had one daughter and heir named
Agathea, whom William le Rus married, and begat on her one
daughter, Alice by name, who is heir to him and Matilda his
wife, and she is now, as they believe, aged two years and more.

Moreover, the said Roger and Matilda his wife at some
time held in demesne, as the inheritance of Roger de Clere, five
carucates of land in Sivelington, of lord Roger le Bigot, by
knight's service, every carucate by the year 40J. Sum, ;^io.
They had also service of two carucates in the town of Mart[on],^
that is to say, foreign service only, and this of the fee of lord
Roger le Bigot ; and held at some time of the same fee in the
town of Wilton'' six carucates by knight's service, every carucate
by the yeaf £4. Sum, £2^.

They formerly held in demesne, of the fee of the Earl of
Albemarle, two carucates and two bovates in the town of Ede-
stone,'= by knight's service, every carucate by the year 40J. Sum,

The said Roger de Clere gave and sold all the lands before-
named, so that he retained in his own hand or had nothing save
only that bovate of land before mentioned in the town of Sive-
lington. <*

XXV. The King v. the Abbot of Citeaux about
Property at Scarborough.

[34 Hen. ni. No. 37.]
Writ dated at Oxford, 3 June, 34th year (1250).

INQUISITION made, concerning eight messuages with the ap-
purtenances claimed by the King as his demesne from the
Abbot of Citeaux in Scardeburge, by William Malecake, Peter
de Nevile, Thomas' de Edbristone, William son of William Male-

dressed to Henry de Wengham and his co-escheator m the County of Surrey, an
extent was made of the land of Matilda de Clere, which showed that she held of
the King in chief a moiety of the Manor of Bromle, by the service of one knight s
fee and a half. The jurors found that Alice, daughter of William le Rus, whom he
had by Agatha his wife, daughter of Matilda, was her heir, and aged two years.

Aton, who being sworn, say that the Abbot holds eight mes-
suages with the appurtenances which the King claims against
him as his demesne, where the capital messuage of the Abbot is
situate, and he renders to the King yearly in the name of
gabelage sixpence. The said eight messuages, while they were
separate, yielded to the King in gabelage by the year ^s. lod. ;
but now, as they are included in one messuage, they ought,
according to the custom of the borough, to yield in the name of
one gabelage (nomine unius Gabulagii) sixpence ; for the custom
of the borough is such, that if any burgess inclose in one eight
messuages or more yielding gablage severally, he shall yield one
gablage only, that is 6d. As to how much the King would lose
in rents, services, &c., by granting to the Abbot the eight mes-
suages appears by the aforesaid. As to the pleas which the
Abbot holds in his court of Scardeburg' they are worth by the
year 4J. As to how long the Abbot and his predecessors have
held those pleas, they say that they have done so from the time
that King Richard enfeoffed them of the church of the said
borough.

of serjeanty of one haubergeon (haubergoni) in the King's army,
a tenement of her inheritance, of which an ancestor of hers was

tenement was afterwards a pure escheat of the now King on
account of a certain trespass done by the said Rodes and Emma.

Romans in 1256.

» According to the Whithy Chartulary (vol. i., pp. 125, 126), she married
Henry de Ormesby, who joined with her in giving half a carucate of land in Filing-
dales to that Abbey. The knight named Rodes must have been her second husband.

John, confir-med a gift her father had made to the Priory of Drax of an oxgang of
land at Folkerby, a toft, the men who dwelt upon it, with their families, and free
passage over the river Dun (History of Hemingburgh, p. 213J. The lands of
Ralph de Rodes were ordered to be taken into the King's hand on 25 July, 1241,
and on 4 ,Sept. following, the Sheriff of Nottinghamshire was ordered to restore the
lands Ralph held in his bailiwick, to Gerard de Rodes, his son and heir (Excerpta e
Rotulis Fiuium, vol. i., pp. 349, 352J.

24 YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS.

Subsequently, the King of his grace granted to Emma after the
death of her husband that she might hold the said tenement in
Snaith for her life, so that after her death it should be a pure
escheat of the King to do therewith as it pleased him.

The said Emma has nothing in demesne of the tenement
aforesaid, but the whole is worth in rents, services, and other
things, by the year ;^8 ss. g\d.

INQUISITION,^ what damages Edmund de Lacy had by reason
of the waste, sale, and removal (exilii) made by John Talebot

nine ash-trees (6d.), 24s. 6d. ; fifteen white-thorns {^d), 7\d.

» The Inquisition is not dated, but the Sheriflf was commanded to send it to
the King's Justices at Westminster in fifteen days from Michaelmas (i.e., 13 Oct.,
1251). This, no doubt, was done.

^ On 22 April, 1258, the King pardoned Gerard Talebot ten marcs, which John
brother of the same Gerard owed the King for a loan, and which the King had
given him for the exequies and burial of William de Abetot, Gerard's kinsman,
who had been slain long before in the King's service at the siege of the castle of
Ewyas in Wales (Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, vol. ii., p. 276J.

XXIX. Roger de Mubray. Ad q. d.

[35 Hen. III. No. 14.]

Writ of the King dated at Havering, 24 Aug., 35th year (1251), and directed
to Thomas de Stanforde and his co-escheator in Co. York. Inquiry to
be made how much the Wapentake of Ewcross, which Alice de Stavele
held of the King to farm, is worth by the year. What barons, mag-
nates, and knights owe suit to the same Wapentake. If it would be to
the damage or advantage of the King to let it to farm to Roger de
Mumbray.

TnquisitiON made by- twelve lawful men of the Wapentake of
-'- Yucros, viz. : Ralph de Depedale, Richard de Burg\ Adam
de Stagheside, Richard Clerk of Horton, Walter de Milleburne,
Walter de Loukelandes, Adam de Twyselton, John de Mirewra,
William de Bentham, William de Clapeham, Adam Grenehed,
and John de Siggeswike, who, being sworn, say that the said
Wapentake is worth by the year with all issues, twenty marcs,
and, scarcely so much. They say also that lord^ Roger de
Mubray, Sir Henry fitz 'R.3,r\\i\i(d'n's Henr' fir Rann'), Sir^ John
de Cancefeud, and all free tenants of the same Wapentake, that
is to say, of nine towns, owe suit to the same, viz. at the next
court after Michaelmasday only, and not more. It is rather to
the advantage than to the loss of the King that' the Wapentake
be demised to lord Roger de Mubray to farm, and especially at
such rate, because it is very dear (et maxime ad talem firmam
quia valde cara est).

XXX. Ada de Balliol.^' Inq. p. m.

de Marroil, who say upon their oath that lord Hugh de Balloil
gave the manor of Stokesley with the appurtenances to Ada his
daughter in frank marriage, and that she after the death of her
husband enfeoffed Hugh and Robert her sons of the said manor
with appurtenances, on Sunday before the feast of Saint
Barnabas Apostle, 34 Henry (5 June, 1250). They were in full
seisin as of fee from the said day to three weeks after the feast
of S. Michael in the same year (20 October, 1250), so that each
of them appointed a new steward and reeves for keeping his
share, and deposing the said lady's steward and reeves, held
courts for the time aforesaid and received amercements from
many persons. They took homages of freemen and farm at the
term of S. John Baptist, also multure of mill ; they sold part of
a meadow and caused the other part to be carried, they had
corn reaped in autumn and carried. In all other things they
did as their own up to three weeks after the feast of Saint
Michael, when they delivered the manor to their mother to farm
to hold for her life, yielding to them (Hugh and Robert) forty
shillings yearly, with remainder after her death to themselves
and their heirs for ever.

Also they say that the said lady Ada died at Stokesley, on
Saturday after the feast of S. James Apostle, in the 35th year
(29 July, 125 1), as farmer of the said Hugh and Robert. Their
attorneys put themselves in seisin of the manor after the death
of the lady and before she was buried, and on the morrow after
her burial, Hugh came and entered in his own name and that of
his brother and held seisin . . . .^ until he was expelled through
the King's letters by the whole country who came with the
Sheriff and Escheators . . . .^ Bartholoniew in the same year

William de Appleby, Roger de Melsaneby, William of the same,
John le Norreys, Geoffrey de Caudewelle, Richard de Scirewithe,
John son of Peter of Dalton.

They say upon their oath that Walter Biset was seised in fee
of the manor of Ulvington with the appurtenances for many
years in his lifetime ; but they do not know if he was seised or
not at the time of his death, because they neither know, nor can
know, the day of his decease, for he died far away in Scotland,
in an island called Araan. Some say that he died at vespers on
Tuesday before, others on Tuesday after Michaelmas-day,^ but
the certainty is not yet known. On Tuesday before Michaelmas-
day there came a messenger from Walter Biset to Ulvington
with letters patent of his lord, directed to Gerard de Boghes, his
bailiff there, in which it was contained : that Walter had given
to Thomas Biset, his nephew, his manor of Ulvington with the
appurtenances, and that Gerard should put him in full seisin of
the manor. But Gerard was not found in those parts, for he had
taken his journey to the Court [for the hearing] of a plea which
he had before the King (coram domino Rege) in eight days of
S. Michael ; and he not being found, the messenger showed the
letters to many of the country of Ulvington, and waited the
return of Gerard, who came back from the Court on the Sunday
following a fortnight from Michaelmas-day. Having received
and inspected those letters, he (Gerard) said he dared not by
them give seisin of the manor to any one without seeing the
said Thomas in his proper person. Notwithstanding, he con-
sented that Thomas Biset's attorney should stay there together
with Walter Biset's reeve until he should hear further. On the
Friday following, that is to say, in three weeks after Michael-
mas-day (Oct. 20), Thomas Biset came to Ulvington and lodged
there. Immediately before dinner he sent for Gerard, Walter
Biset's bailiff, who was at the next town, and demanded of him
the seisin for which he had warrant by his lord's letters patent.
Then, two free men, one villain, and the reeve of the town being
at once called together, Gerard gave him seisin, saving the right
of every one, and straightway departed.

The said Thomas stated that his uncle was then in good
health, and he received from the reeve his uncle's farm for
Whitsuntide term last, and likewise the tallage laid in his uncle's
time, which the reeve had yet in his hands and custody. So
with the said money he went away. Soon after a rumour being
heard in the County of York that Walter was dead, the King's
Escheators came thither and seized the manor into the King's
hand ; and they yet hold it.

» In 1251, Michaelmas (29 Sept.) fell on a Friday, so the Tuesday before would
be Sept. 26, and the Tuesday after Oct. 3.

INQUISITION made at Pikeringe, on Monday after the Epiphany,
36 Henry son of John (8 Jan., 125 1-2), before Sir Geoffrey
de Langele, Justice of the forest, by the King's command — as
to what commons and for what kind of cattle the men of the
King's demesne in Pikeringe, were wont to have of right in the
woods of Pikeringe forest in the time of King John, that is to
say, in the year before war broke out between him and his
barons ; what easements they had of right in the .said woods,
and what customs and services they did to the King for having
such easements — made by the oath of Peter de Nevile, Thomas
de Edbreston, Roger Moraynt (or Moraunt), Ralph [son] of
Peter of Roston, Richard le Brun, John le Chaumpiun, William
son of Robert of Roston, John de Alverstane, Bartholomew de
Scalleby, Richard de Berg', John de Hagwrdingham, and
William de Habeton, who say upon their oath that the men of
the King's demesne of Pikeringe in the year before the war
broke out between King John and his barons, had common of
pasture for all kinds of cattle save goats, in all the King's woods
appertaining to the manor of Pikeringe (except the Hay of
Blaundeby and the Hay of Daleby with their vallies, which do
not appertain to the manor), and mast (pessonem) for their hogs
without rendering pannage. As to easements, they had green
and dead wood (viride et mortuum boscum) for husbote by
livery of the foresters, and dry wood (siccuin) without livery for
burning (which woods are now wasted) ; and in other woods ap-
pertaining to the manor (except the Hay of Blaundeby and the
Hay of Daleby with vallies), haybote and walling (walluram)
for their houses, and " harz " for their ploughs, and enclosure
(clausturam) for the hedges round their field, by view and livery
of the foresters, and drywood lying on the ground (siccum per
terrain jacentem) with drywood which they could knock down
by crooks (cum sicca quod potuerunt prosternere per crocos). All
these things they had by the will of the King and by the
sufferance of the bailiffs of the forest without other right.

As to customs and services which they did for having the
aforesaid, they used to give to the foresters for every bovate of
land one halfpenny every year, when the foresters made livery
to them for making their hedges.

Inquisition made at Sutton,»on Monday after the Epiphany,
36 Hen. son of John (8 Jan., 125 1-2), before Sir Geoffrey de
Langele, Justice of the forest, as to what commons and for what
kind of cattle the men of the King's demesne in Esingwald and
Hoby used to have of right in the King's forest of Gautris, in
the time of the late King John, in the year before war broke out
between him and his barons, and what easements by right they
had of taking vert and dry wood (de viridi et sicca capiend' ) in
the King's demesne woods in the said forest, what customs and
services they did to the King or his bailiffs for such commons
and easements, by the oath of Thomas de Colevile, Simon de

maduke Darel, Robert le Despenser, Stephen son of Clement of

Plaice, and William de Galmetorpe, who say that the men of
Esingwald and Hoby in the time of King John were wont to
have common for oxen and cows, horses and mares, and for their
hogs the whole year except in the fence month (in mense vetito),
so that they rendered for every hog (porco) over a year old, one
penny yearly for pannage whether the King's woods were agisted
or not, and for a hog under a year old a half-penny, or a tithe
pig (decimum porcum) in the name of pannage, at the will and
choice of the agistors. The said men at the time aforesaid
never had, and they ought not to have of right, common for
their sheep (bidentes) or goats (capras) within the covert of the
forest. Nor at any time used they to take or have any vert
(virid') in the forest for husbote, or even for building new
houses, when the towns of Esingwald and Hoby by misadventure
were burnt, as many times happened, without the special com-
mand of the King or of his Justice, or for making or repairing
their hedges, unless they gave to the King's bailiffs of their own
(de sua), which very often they did in the time of King John,
as well as in the time of the lord Henry now King,

XXXIV. Concerning a Petition of Peter de
Mauley to have Lands to Farm.

[36 Hen. III. No. 47.]

Writ dated at York, 8 Jan., 36th year (1251-2), and directed to Geoffrey de
Langele, Justice of the King's forest, that Peter de Mauley (Malo lacu)
had petitioned that the whole wood and moor in Wheldale," which the
King had demanded against him, and which Peter had then rendered
as the King's right, should be granted in fee-farm to him. Inquiry to
be made as to the annual value of the wood and moor, etc.

Another writ, also dated at York, but on the sixth of January, in the same
year, and directed to the same Geoffrey, commanding him to inquire if
it would be to the Kin'g's loss if he were to grant the forty acres of moor
and wood in Weldale, lately rendered to the King as his right, to Peter
de Mauley to farm (ad firmam).

Tnquisition made at Pikeringe, on Thursday next after the
-'- Epiphany, 36 Henry (11 Jan., 125 1-2), before Sir Geoffrey
de Langele, Justice of the forest, by the oath of Peter de
Neville, Thomas de Edbricton, Roger Morant, Ralph son of
Peter of Rouston, Richard le Brun, John le Chaumpiun, John
de Alvesteyn, William son of Robert of Ruston, William de
Morpathe, William de Habeton, Bartholomew de Scalleby,
Ralph de Loketon, and Hugh de Loketon, who say that the
wood and moor in Wheldale, before Geoffrey de Langele and
his fellow Justices in eyre, at their last hearing of pleas of the
forest at York, were found by the oath of foresters, verderers,
regarders, and thirty-six knights, to be the proper demesne and
forest of the King, and not of Peter de Mauley as he said.
They contain five hundred acres and more, as it seems to them
by estimation, which are enclosed by these metes and bounds,
namely : as the sike which descends from Shonerhom as far as
the beck (rivulum) of Welledale, and to the place where it falls

» WheeWale is a piece of high moorland immediately to the south of the
parish of Egton. Shonerhom the starting point nf the boundaries, called in the
Guisbrough Chartidary (vol. i., p. 104) Senerhou, and now Shunner Howe, is a
tumulus, where the boundaries of the parishes of Glaisdale, Egton, and Rosedale
meet. The next point, proceeding in an easterly direction, is the beck of Welle-
dale, the stream flowing along the Wheeldale Gill, which falls into the Murk Esk.
Here the boundary must go south, as it ascends the Gaytskilhewicbeke, apparently
the modern Wheeldale Beck, to Blawath, and then up a runnel or sike called Ayke-
sike, probably the modern Blawath Beck, to a large stone standing on Hunteres-
huses, from whence it goes by a high ridge called Waldalerig, now Wardle Rigg,
as far as Flathou, possibly the tumulus at Brown Howe, then westwards to a stone,
which seems lost, and by a dike coming to Snouerou, probably wrongly written
for Shonerhou, the starting point. The amount contained in these boundaries is
far more than five hundred acres, more like two thousand. Waldalerig may be the
rapidly rising ground on the west side of the Wheeldale and Rutmoor Becks, as
the modern Wardle Rigg seems too far to the south. Hunt House, near the junction
of the Wheeldale Gill and Wheeldale Beck, preserves a reminiscence of Hunteres-
huses. Has Gaytskilhewicbeke anything to do with Gale Hill Rig, or does it refer
to the Roman road, which still exists on the east of Wheeldale ?

into Mirke Eske, and ascending the length of the beck called
Gaytskilhewicbeke and up to the place called Blawath, and so
by the sike (siketum) called Aykesike up to the stone standing
upon Huntereshuses, and so from the said stone by a high ridge
called Waldalerig as far as Flathou, and so to the stone stand-
ing towards the West, and thence to the dike which descends
from Snouerou (sic), and falls into the beck called Wheldalebec,
where it began.

They say also that the said wood and moor are worth by
the year in all issues, as in herbage, pannage, and other things,
ten marcs ; as they understand : and it would be to the King's
advantage if he were to commit them in fee-farm to Peter de
Mauley for the said ten marcs, so that the wood and moor
remain forest of the King, and within regard as used of old
time.

Those forty acres which the King demanded, and which
Peter rendered to the King as his right, are contained within the
five hundred, and it would not be to the advantage (commodum)
of the King to commit to him the forty acres unless the whole
wood and moor were also committed, because by entering those
forty acres he would have easement of the whole residue of
wood and moor, and the King would have no profit therefrom.
Moreover, they say that half of the five hundred acres is covered
with wood, part good, part indiff"erent.

XXXVI. Concerning Philippa de Tilly, and the
Manor of Melton (or MB:AUTON).a

[36 Hen. III. No. 56.J

Writ dated at Windsor, 15 June, 36th year (1252), and directed to Thomas
de Stanford, Escheator, commanding him to take with him the bailiff
of Tikehull, and to have extents made of the manor of Upton, co.
Nottingham, and of the manor of Meauton, co. York.

T NQUISITION of Methylton, made at Meauton, before Thomas
-*- de Stanford, and Ivo, Constable of Tikhile. Names of the
jurors — Robert de Wikerley, knight, Robert Bastarde, William
de Wintewrde, Jordan de Mar, Alexander de Stolkebrigge,
Richard de Lanweder, Otho (Oto) de Waddewrde, Robert de
Ryhil, Walter de Herlington, Otho (Oto) de Athewyke, Hugh
de Wythor[es], Henry Aubur of Mekesburge.

A moiety of Meauton is the inheritance of the son and heir
of Roger de Cressy, who is in ward to the lord Edward, the
King's son, by reason of the Honour of Tikhil, to which the said
wardship appertains. The other moiety of the manor was of
the lady Philippa de Tilhy, who died about the feast of S. Peter
in the chair, in the 32nd year of the now King (22 Feb., 1247-8),
and had sons and daughters who live in Normandy,'' and are not
lieges of the King, wherefore the land is the King's escheat, and
appertains to the Honour of Tikhil, which lord Edward has of
the King's gift, nor is there any one who has any right in that
moiety.

There are in the said moiety in demesne six-score acres
of arable land (acre 6Jfl?.), 65J. ; six bovates and a half in bond-
age (bovate 9^.), 58^-. 6d. The court (curia) with houses and
garden is worth by the year ^s. The issues and herbage of the
little wood (bosculi) appertaining to the moiety are worth in
common years 2Qs. There are five free men who hold five
bovates and a half, and they render yearly for all IQJ. 6d., and
do foreign service. Also William de Stanton holds two bovates
by doing foreign service only. Sum of the aforesaid moiety,
which was of the said lady Philippa, ;^8 %s.

" See No. xv.

* By another Inquisition taken at Upton, co. Nottingham, it is found in like
manner that the lady Philippa de Tilly, died on the feast of S. Peter in the chair,
32 Hen. (22 Feb., 1247-8), leaving sons and daughters who live in Normandy. The
land in Upton is therefore an escheat of the King, and appertains to the Honour
of TikhuU, which the lord Edward has of the King's gift, and there is no other who
has any right in the said land.

XXXVII. Concerning Liberties claimed by Peter of
Savoy and his Bailiffs in Richmondshire.^

[36 Hen. III. No. 14.]
Writ dated at Hertford, 23 Sept., 36th year {1252).

INQUISITION . made by Robert Chaumbard, Robert de Sprox-
ton, Roger de Neusum, William de Barton, Richard de
Camera, Stephen de Katton, William de Skippton, William de
Karleton, John de Frytheby, William Boniface, John de Caum-
pedene, William de Lillinge, William de Rydal, and John de
Hoby, who, being sworn, 3ay that the bailiffs of the lord P[eter]
of Savoy will not permit the King's bailiffs to enter within the
limits of Richemondskyre to do anything which appertains to
the King, nor will they permit any one of Richemondskyre to
come before the Sheriff or his bailiffs to execute the King's
command beyond the limits of the same place. Also they will
not do anything unless they have the original writ of the King
just as sent to the Sheriff of Yorkshire ; and that if it be written
to any one of Richemondskyre by writ of right " that he shall
hold full right to the demandant, and unless he do so, the Sheriff
shall do it," and the default of court of him to whom it is written
shall be sufficiently proved, they will not make that summons, ,
unless the original writ of right first come in the court of
Richem', just as in a county (sicut et in Comit' ).^

Also they say that the said lord Peter has appropriated,
and yet appropriates to himself, one wapentake which is within
the limits of Richemondskyre, and used to appertain to the
County of York, namely, the Wapentake of Bulemer.

Moreover they plead all pleas usual in the county of York,
as well of withernam (nami vetito) as others.

' Peter de Dreux, Earl of Richmond, having forfeited his Earldom for adherence
to the King of France, the Honour or County of Richmond was given by King
Henry to Peter of Savoy, uncle to Queen Eleanor. The patent, i May, 1241, did
not express the grant of an Earldom. He died 1268, and in pursuance of a power
given to him by the King, 1262, bequeathed the Honour to Que^n Eleanor ; and
it was not until the Queen had accepted an annuity of 2,000 marcs;, that the King
was enabled to grant the Earldom to John de Dreux, son of Peter de Dreux, in
July, 1268 (Courthope). See No. Lxxviii.

* Dicunt eciam quod [si] scribatur alicui de Richem'skyre per breve de recto,
quod petenti plenum rectum teneat, et nisi fecerit (fee') Vicecomes faciat, et defalta
curie ipsius cui scribitur sufficienter fuerit probata, illam summonicionem nolunt
facere, nisi breve de recto originale prius veniat in curia de Richem' sicut et in
Comitatu. The bailiffs claim, in effect, that Richmondshire is an independent
county, of which they are the Sheriffs.

information as to the heir (who is seen to have been a brother, William, aged 30),

XLiv. William the Arblaster of Givendale. Inq.p. m.

[40 Hen. III. No. 15.]
Writ dated at Bristol, 15 July, 40th year (1256).

Tnquisition made by Thomas de Tanesterne in Hayton,
-^ Robert Monstroyle of Bubbewythe, Peter de Hugate,
Laurence de Kaldewalde, Peter de Faxeflet, Walter de Mikkel-
felde, Roger de Linton in Lathum, Roger de Hugate in Herle-
thorpe, Joseph de Hayton, William le Garge, John de Esthorpe,
Ralph of the same, Robert son of Beatrice of Milington, who
say upon their oath that William the Arblaster, (Arblastarius),
or cross-bowman, held in two towns which are called Gyveldale^
four carucates of land, worth by the year iooj., by the service
of a cross-bowman (per servicium arblastr' ) and doing ward at
York Castle in time of war for forty days at his own charges, if
longer at the cost of the King, and to conduct the King's
Treasure through the county at the King's charges.

» Mr. Vincent has translated hiritini "harrowing," as if the genitive case of a
possible hiritinus or hiritinum. Mr. C. Trice Martin suggests that the word may
be akin to hyritius, a hedgehog, and so signifies the revolving bars with spikes
used in fortresses. In some dictionaries the word eritius is translated " a fortifica-
tion," and there may be some connection with hyritius and hiritini. It has also
been suggested that hiritini means ploughing, and has been coined from the Anglo-
Saxon ertan, " to plough," Early English eryen and herien :

" Quath Perkyn the ploujmon, 'bi Peter the apostel,

" I haue an half aker to herie, bi the heije weye;

" Weore he wel i-eried, thenne with ou wolde I wende I ' "

» On 3 Nov., 1256, the King took the homage of Walter de Donesford, Cecilia
daughter of Eve, and Alice her sister, and of Alan son of Avice, the relatives and
heirs of William Arblastar' of Geveldale, for all the lands and tenements which the
said William held in chief (Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, vol. ii., p. 244J.

In a Fine of 15 Hen. III. [No. 40], he is called William de Gevendale son of
Richard Balistarius. In the Red Book, " Serjanterice. Robertus de Geueldale et
Thomas de Geueldale totam Geueldale per balisteriam ad castellum Eboracense." —

Testa de Nevill .(vol. ii., p. 691) shows that Geoffrey de Geveldale held four
bovates of the Honour of Tickhill (besides his serjeanty of York Castle), by ser-
jdanty of" conducere thesaurum Regis extra Comitatum Eborwicsim,'^ This shows
how he helped it along from York Castle, the Depot, to Tickhill, on the borders.

^ Son and heir of John de Lascy, Earl of Lincoln, which dignity belonged to
his mother, and as she survived her husband and lived till 1279, retaining the title
even after her second marriage with William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, Edmund
de Lascy never became Earl, though in the popular eye he was always " the young
Earl.'' He was under age at the time of his father's death, and was still in the
royal custody on 26 March, 1249, when the King commanded the Barons of the
Exchequer to adjourn, until he came of age, the demand made against Edmund
de Lascy for one hundred pounds owing by his father (Excerpta e Rotulis Finium,
vol. ii., pp. 18, 54). On g Feb., 1256-7, he agreed to pay the King ten marcs of
gold for licence to marry his son and heir, Henry, to Margaret, eldest daughter
and heir of William Lungespe (Ibid., vol. ii., p. 249). Dugdale says he died on
21 July, 42 Hen. III. (1258), and was buried at Stanlaw. ' He gives the epitaph on
his tomb. From an entry on the Close Roll (42 Hen. III., m. 6), it would appear
that he was dead before 18 June, 1258, atid in Holmes's Pontefract, its Name, its
Lords, and its Castle, he is said to have died on June 5th. In this Inquisition (p.
51) it is stated that his son and heir, Henry, was eight years old on Christmas
Day, 1257.

of the Holy Trinity, 44 Henry (5 June, 1260), before Sir
John de Oketon, Sheriff of Yorkshire — in what state the lord
Gilbert de Gaunt left the castle of Scardeburg', and in what
state the lord H. le Bigot, Justiciar of England, received it by
commission from the King — by William de Roston, Ralph son
of Peter of the same, William de Everle, Robert de Careby,
Richard de Neville, Adam de Rouceby, Ralph de Loketon,

the kitchen and tresonce (tresoncia) are nearly uncovered, the
stable is \vholly uncovered, the mangers broken, and one door
(hostium) is wanting. The walls of the millhouse are broken,
and there is no mill. The granary too is in a poor state (debile
est). The hall within the enclosure of the tower is wholly un-
covered, some of the beams (tingnis) are broken, and it threatens
to fall. Also two of the castle bridges and the bridge attached
to the tower are weak and rotten for a great part. Four leaves
of two internal gates (Quatuor vero waive duarum januarum

windows are entirely wanting. The flooring (planchiatura) of
four turrets at the top of the tower is defective and nearly rotten.
The wall flanking the tower is in many places thrown down,

* This document is very difficult to read. On 18 Sept., 1241, the King informed
Henry de Neketon, Escheator beyond Trent, that he had taken the homage of
William de Fortibus, son and heir of William de Fortibus, late Earl of Albemarle,
for the lands and tenements the said Earl held in chief. The Escheator, after
taking security from the said William for the payment of £'100 as his relief, was
commanded to give William seisin of all the lands and tenements the Earl held in
his bailiwick on the day he commenced his pilgrimage (die quo iter peregrinationis
arripuit) to the Holy Land (Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, vol. i., p. 353J. On 24 Oct.
following, the King made certain concessions to William de Fortibus, son of William
de Fortibus, late Earl of Albemarle, in relation to debts owing by his father to the
Crown, and amongst others, ;^g4 loi. iid., which he owed the King of the debts of
J., late Earl of Chester, for the portion which fell to the same W. and Christiana
his wife, of the debts of the same Earl (Ibid., vol. i., p. 357;. On 29 July, 1246,
the Sheriff of Yorkshire was ordered to seize the lands which William de Forti-
bus, Earl of Albemarle, held of the heritage of Devorgoyl, late his wife (Ibid.,
vol. i., p. 459). On 12 June, 1260, William de Fortibus, Earl of Albemarle, having
died (viam universe carnis ingressus), William de Wendling, the Escheator citra,
was ordered to seize the lands in his bailiwick held by him in chief (Ibid., vol. ii.,
p. 327J. His mother was Avelina, one of the daughters and heirs of Richard de
Munfichet (Calendarium Genealogicum, vol. i., p. 127;. His widow Isabella, was
sister and heir of Baldwin de Insula, Earl of Devon (Ibid., vol. i., p. 106, and

son and heir of the Earl, it is stated in the Holderness Inquisition given below,
would be seven years old on g Sept., 1260. By an extent (not dated) of the manors
of Polhamptune and Wimeringe in the County of Southampton, Thomas, son and
heir of the Earl, is said to be seven years old. By an extent of the manor of
Clopton, in Suffolk, made on Tuesday after the Translation of St. Benedict (13
July), in the same year (1260), the heir is said to be six or seven. An extent made
in Derteforde, Kent, has seven years, " as it is believed." An inquisition, made at

Sixty-six bovates of land are held by the sokemen of
Pocklington, each bovate yielding by the year 2od. Sum, itoj.

The works of the said sokemen are these : — Each.one ought
to plough once in winter before Christmas-day, according to the
plough which he has. He who has no plough ought to find one
for half a carucate of land. He ought also to plough once in
spring in the same manner. The ploughmen (carucatores)
ought to have to eat, wheaten-bread and flesh (panem fruni
et carnem)., and ale to drink in winter, while they have day
(dmn diem fiabent), in spring wheaten-bread and fish to eat, and
ale to drink, during their day's work. Every tenant of one
bovate of land ought to find one harrow (herciam) in winter and
another in spring, like one who holds two bovates, except six
men who hold twelve bovates, of whom every one ought to find
two harrows in winter and two others in spring. The harrowers
ought to have to eat, wheaten-bread and flesh or fish once a day.
Every horse (caballus) shall have one sheaf (garbam) of oats in
spring while the harrowers are eating, but in winter none. Also
every one ought to find a man to hoe for one day, with food like
the harrowers. Every tenant of one bovate ought to find a man
to reap in autumn for two days, like him who holds two bovates,
except six men who hold twelve bovates, each of whom ought
to find two men to reap two days, who are to eat once a day,
and have wheiten-bread with flesh one day, and fish the other,

Borle, Essex, 8 Sept., 1260, finds him to be seven years of age, and yet in his
mother's custody (est septem annorum et est ndhuc in custodia matris sue). He and
a brother William died without issue, and were succeeded by a sister Avelina, who
married Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, second son of Henry HI. (Cal. Gen., vol. i.,
p. 224J On the same file or bundle as the above inquisition is included an inqui-
sition, taken after the death of another William de Fortibus in the County of Dorset.
He left four daughters and co-heirs, Joan, aged eight years and five weeks ; Sibil,
aged six; Mabel, aged four ; and Cecily, aged two years (Ibid., vol. i., p. 8gJ. His
widow was a Matilda or Maud de Kyme to whom dower was assigned on 20 July,
1259 (Close Rolls, 43 Hen. HI., m. -j). The lands held in dower were restored to
her (2 Aug., 1260), on having sworn that Sibil and Mabel, two of her daughters,
were in foreign parts and out of her power ; and further having given security that
she within a month would give up to the King the other two, Joan and Cecily
(Ibid., 44 Hen., UI., part i., mm. 8, 16, 18, ig).

with pottage (potagio). Every tenant of one bovate ought to give
two-pence for mowing meadow, like the tenant of two bovates,
except six men holding twelve bovates, each of whom is to give
four-pence. Also every one of them ought to find a man to
turn the hay (ad fettum levandum) in meadows for one day,
without food, except six who are each to find two men. Every
bovate ought to carry one cart-load of hay and one cart-load of
corn, without food.

It should be known that every ploughing is worth in winter,
without food, 2d., and in spring 2d. ; every harrowing without
food \d. ; hoeing one day without food, \d. ; mowing without
food, \d. ; turning hay in meadow without food, \d. Every
cart carrying hay or corn, is worth \d.

Sum of the works in money, 2']s. 6d.
■ Work of one bovate without food, $d., and so one bovate
yields with farms and services, 2$d.

The aforesaid sokemen hold one culture by itself contain-
ing forty acres, called Northmor, which yields yearly half a marc.

Every tenant of land owes suit of court, his relief, i6s.,
amercement, 5 J. 4d. ; and their merchete, 5j. 4d.

There are eighteen cottars, each of whom yields yearly I2d.,
and ought to find one man to hoe, which is worth a halfpenny,
also one man to reap in autumn two days, with food. The works
of two days, without food, are worth one penny. He ought to
find one man to turn hay for a day, and one man to make hay in
the court, without food, worth one penny. He ought also to go
with Serjeants in socage to make summonses and distresses,
worth a halfpenny ; and to keep prisoners in fetters (e( debet
custodire captives in compedibus).

Sum of one cottar's work id., and so every cottar yields

Moreover there are two more cottars who ought not tp go

does the same works as the tenant of one bovate (except suit),
and yields yearly 2s., one cottar's work, without food, being
worth i,d. Sum, 2s. lod.

There are four gresmen who hold messuages, each having
four acres of land and yielding for farm . . . Each does the

The said sokemen ought to grind at the Earl's mill to the
sixteenth measure (ad xvj. vasculum^), from the feast of S.
Peter ad Vincula (i Aug.) to Christmas-day, and from that day
to the aforesaid feast (i Aug.) " ad vicesimum vasculum."

Moreover two acres of wood may be .sold every year (at
half a marc the acre) for one marc. There are three mills,
worth in common years 1 3 marcs ; toll with fairs (nundinis) of
S. Margaret of Pokelington is worth in common years iooj. ;
and herbage of the wood, i2d. Herbage of the field, nothing,
because common. One oven (furnus) yields yearly ^s.

Adam Fuller and Thomas Taylor yield yearly for incre-
ments of their tofts 2od.

The perquisites of Pockelington are worth by the year 20s.

Gilbert Carpenter and William son of Ralph Smith yield

thorpe holds 1 8 carucates for £4. 8j. y^d. ; Ralph de Lascelles,
27 bovates in Brunneby,"! for 20s. ; and they all do suit.

The Earl had by purchase — in Gevildale^ half a carucate,
worth lOJ., and in Meltenby^ 2^ bovates, worth i6s. He had in
Gevildale half a carucate of the land of Sir William the Parson, f
taken into his hand for default of service, and worth yearly ioj.

Sir Thomas son of William de Belkerthorpe holds in Ulves-
torpes four carucates for igs. ^d. rent, and does suit. Hugh
de Yoltorpe holds in the same two carucates for ^s. 6d., and

" The meaning of this phrase " to the sixteenth measure " is that the sokemen
had to grind at their lord's mill, paying one measure in sixteen from August i to
Christmas, and one measure in twenty for the remainder of the year, as a toll or
multure as it was called, for having their corn ground. At Ormesby in Cleveland,
at about the same date, the charge was one in sixteen as here (Guisbrough Chartu-
lary, vol. i., p. 278J ; and at Hackness, near Scarborough, one in thirteen (Whitby
Chartulary, vol. ii., p. 367) ; and the same proportion was payable at Sleights,

" The manor of Harewood, near Leeds, came to the Insula family by the
marriage of Baldwin's grandfather, another Baldwin de Insula, also Earl of Devon,
with Margery, daughter and heiress of Alice de Curzi, wife of Warin Fitzgerold,
and granddaughter of Avice, daughter and co-heir of William de Meschines, by
Cecily, daughter and heiress of Robert de Romilly, Lord of Skipton and Hare-
wood. This last mentioned Margery married first Baldwin de Ripariis, or Rivers,
Earl of Devon, by whom she had a son of the same name, and secondly, about
1218, Faukes de Breaute (Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, vol. i., p. 11 j. On 29 Sept.,
1252, the King ordered his Escheator in Oxfordshire to seize the lands in his baili-
wick which belonged to Margery de Ripariis (Ibid., vol. ii., p. 140). Her son
Baldwin was under age at the time of his father's death. In 1235, Gilbert de
Clare, Earl of Gloucester, made a fine with the King, of two thousand marcs, to
marry his eldest daughter with Baldwin, son of Baldwin de Rivers, son of William
de Rivers, Earl of Devon (Ibid., vol i., p. 151 J. The Earl of Gloucester's daughter
was called Amicia, and is mentioned at the close of this Inquisition. From another
entry concerning a fine for the manors of Moreys and Rydeleston, in Devonshire,
it appears that Baldwin's grandfather was also called William de Vernun (Ibid.,
vol. i., p. 397^. The family, as in the Inquisition, also called themselves de Insula
or de Lisle. On 15 Feb., 1244-5, 'be Sheriffs of Southampton, Devon, Somerset,

° On the death of Saer de Quency, Earl of Winchester, who died in the Holy
Land in 1219, he was succeeded by his second son, the above named Roger. In
1253 Roger paid a fine of three hundred marcs for marrying Alienora, widow of
William de Vallibus, without the King's leave. This lady was daughter of William
de Ferrers, and one of the heirs of William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke (Excerpta
e Rotulis Finium, vol. ii., pp. 15, 149). According to two other inquisitions taken
at the same time in Bedfordshire, his heirs were the two daughters of a Robert de
Quency (his younger brother,. a second of the name), Joan wife of Sir Humphrey
de Bohun the younger, and Hawise, the latter under age (Cal. Gen., vol. i., p. in;.
Joan died without issue on 25 Nov., 1283, and was succeeded by her sister, then
the wife of Baldwin Wake (Ibid. vol. i., p. 346 j. The connection between the
families of Lascy and Quency arose from the marriage of John de Lascy with
Margaret, daughter and heir of Robert de Quency, by Hawise, fourth sister and
coheir of Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of Chester and Lincoln (Excerpta e Rotulis
Finium, vol. i., p. 396;. The heir apparent of the Earldom of Winchester had been
Robert, but he died before his father. The above Roger, the second son, inherited,
though he did not receive the Earldom till the death of his mother in 1235.

It is not clear why the Earldom, which was conferred upon the first Earl, was
retained by his wife for life, nor why the arms of the first Earl, Or, a fess gules, a
label of seven points, azure, did not descend to this Roger, who bore. Gules, seven
lozenges or. The label of Saer, Earl of Winchester, is the earliest example known
of that bearing. Till Roger received the Earldom in Feb., 1235-6, he was known
only by his name, Roger de Quency. For instance, in No. 52 of the Pontefract
Chartulary, is a missive under date 19 Oct., 1233, from Archbishop Gray, notifying
his institution of Milo, the presentee of the Prior and Convent of Pontefract, to
the church of Kippax, and recording that he had done so, as a consequence of the
decision in a suit at law between the Prior and Convent on the one part, and
"nobilem virum Robertum de Quenci, ex altera," which had been terminated in
favour of the Convent. Only a rough undated draft of this communication has
been published, in the Surtees Soc. vol. L., No. 276. In the Dodsworth MSS.,

readily appear.

" The Stubbs which furnished so many of these jurors was Stubbs Walden, in
the parish of Womersley, which took its second name from one Walding, who
held it in the time of King Stephen, and of whom this Richard, son of Robert, the
reeve, was the grandson's grandson, the reeveship having been hereditary during
the intervening generations. Moorhouse, like Elmsall, is in the parish of South
Kirkby. All these places, with Frickley and Hooton Paynell, are a few miles
between south and east of Pontefract.

■i This does not quite tally with the age of the heir (eight years and a half, and
a month, and six days, on 25 July, 1258), as given on p. 65; which would give his
birth, 19 Dec, 34 Hen. HI., 1249. The present document says fourteen on
Epiphany, 49 Hen. III., born i.e. on Epiphany, 35 Hen. III., that is, 6 Jan., 1250-1,

York, if the King should grant to Edward his eldest son the
forest and hay of Langewath to have for ever, or not. They say
upon oath that it would not be to the damage of the King, if he
were to grant to the lord Edward his eldest son the aforesaid
hay, so that he should retain it to his own use ; but if he were
to alien it then it would be to the damage of the King, for he
would lose every year in herbage one marc; in pannage, 40s.
one year ; another, 20s. ; a third, half a marc ; a fourth, nothing ;
according to the mast of acorns. What vert and venison ought
to be worth by the year, they cannot estimate, because the King
takes ransoms and amercements in the Eyre of the Forest, for
trespasses made of vert and venison.

They also say that it would be to the annoyance of the
forest of Gautres, because the hay aforesaid is between Ouse
and Derwent where the King's forest was de-afforested by the
King, and nothing remained there but the hay, and when the
King's game (/ere Domini Regis) cross from the forest of
Gautres they have refuge in it because it is not more than a
league distant.

The hay contains by estimation, by the perch of the King's
forest, in covert, 400 acres, and in plain, 100 acres. They
estimate within the covert, 4,cx30 oaks, the price of each 3^.
Every acre of underwood is worth ^s. They say also that if
the hay were reduced to cultivation, every acre would be worth
yearly, 6d. They have estimated the number of acres because
they were unable to measure the hay on account of inundation.
The hay is kept by one forester of fee, who holds in considera-
tion of that keeping one carucate of land in the town of
Kawode.^

* All traces of the village of Bustardthorpe have long since disappeared. It
stood, I believe, a little to the north of Middlethorpe, and near the road leading to
York. In 1484, the manor of Bustardthorpe is described as extending in length
from the village of Drynghouses on the west, as far as the river Use on the east,
the common pastures of Knasemyer and Middilthorp forming, respectively, por-
tions of its northern and southern boundaries (City Records, lib. A., p. 368J. See

whether he or his ancestors have been wont to do suit, at County
Court of Yorlc, and at Wapentake of Bolmere, for lands and tenements
in Holteby.* If he be quit, how and for what reason.

T NQUISITION made before the Sheriff and the keepers of the

John de Holteby ought to do, and whether or not he or his an-
cestors have been used to do suit at the County Court of York,
and at the Wapentake Court of Bulmere, for their lands and
tenements in Holteby, &c. — by William de Thorney of Tivering-
ton, John de Stockton, Richard of the same, Walter le Bret,
Thomas le Norreis, Richard de Touthorp, Ralph de Hoton,
Michael de Hew[ort]h, William de Galmethorp, Thomas de
Meningthorp, Thomas de Dunstaple, and Richard Maunsell of
Tiverington : who say, that John de Holteby ought not to do
suit at either Court ; and that his ancestors did not, because the
lands and tenements are of the Honour of Eye, and heretofore
an inquisition was taken which found for his ancestors.

" The terms, in which the tenure is expressed, are as follows : — " Omnia

Wadtht ,Jphn son of Roger of Lengeby, Philip de Barton, John
de Watht, Nicholas de Aymunderby, Roger Drenge, Richard de
Skakeldene, John Abraam, William Yol, and Gervase de Barton,
who say that there is a capital messuage with garden and dove-
house. There are in demesne three carucates of land which
contain twenty-four bovates, each of which with easement of
the capital messuage, and dovehouse, and with meadow, is worth
by the year \os. Sum, £\2. One free tenant holds one bovate
of land, and yields on the day of the Nativity S. John Baptist,
a seat of rushes (unum sessum juncorum)}' value one half-penny.
Thirty bondmen (bondi) hold in bondage fifty-one bovates of

of John de Humet, and died in 1271. His son, Henry de Grey, was summoned to
Parliament, and according to Dugdale, gave his second son Nicholas, Barton in
Ryedale, from whom descended the family of Grey of Barton, whose pedigree is
in Glover's Visitation (p. 70, Foster's Ed.). It is a curious coincidence, that a
William de Grey who had property in North Yorkshire, should have married a
member of the Humet family, Agnes by name. They were both alive in 1246
(Rievaulx Chartulary, pp. 249 and 394^- This William de Grey bore on his seal

St. Edmund King and Martyr, 56th year (20 Nov., 1271). Essex — 14 years old at
the feast of All Saints (i Nov., 1271). Inquisition dated Friday, 5 Feb., 1271-2.

By the mandate of R. de Cliff[ord], Escheator this side Trent, directed to
Thomas Peverell, his sub-Escheator in the County of Southampton, it is shown
that Lucy (Lucya), who was wife of John de Grey, had complained that, although
she was jointly enfeoffed with her late husband of the manor of Upton, the Eschea-
tor had taken it into the King's hand. Dated at London, on Saturday after the
feast of the Pur. B.V.M., 56th year (6 Feb., 1271-2). 4 July, 1281. The King, in
consideration of ^200, pardoned Arnald Murdake his transgression in marrying
without licence Lucy, widow of John de Gray (Rot. Finium, 9 Edw. I., m. y).

^ Members of the family of Boltby occur as benefactors to the Abbey of Rie-
vaulx. They were descended from a certain Odo de Boltebia, who gave land in
Boltby to that Abbey between the years 1131 and 1145 (Rievaulx Chartulary, pp.
45, 260). On 13 Dec, i Edward I. (1272) the fealty of Adam de Bolteby, brother
(sic) and heir of Nicholas de Bolteby, was taken, and John de Reygate, the Es-
cheator beyond Trent, was ordered to restore to him the lands held in chief. At
the same time was taken the fealty of Adam de Bolteby, son and heir of Nicholas
de Bolteby and Philipp'a his wife, one of the heiresses of Adam de Tindale
deceased. The King restored to him the lands and tenements, on condition that
at the arrival of the King in England, he should appear before him and pay homage
for them (tali condicione quod in adventu suo in Angliam coram Rege veniat inde
homagium suum facturus ) (Rotuli Finium, i Edw. I., m. 26 bis). This proviso
was added in consequence of the King's absence in the Holy Land.

de Estoteville one knight's fee, made by ten carucates of land,
and Adam de Bolteby his son is his next heir, and of full age.

The extent of lands and tenements is this : — In Ravenes-
thorpe^ and Trilleby'^ he held in demesne 300 acres of land
(6d), 60 acres of meadow (i8a?.) ; in Bolteby *= thirty-two bovates
of land, of which ten acres of land and meadow make one
bovate, which is worth yearly 6s. Six cotters (coterii) in
Bolteby hold six tofts, for which they yield by the year gj. ^d.
One garden in Bolteby yields yearly ^s. The capital messuage
of Ravenesthorpe with garden yields yearly half a marc. In

Lxxiv. Complaint of the Burgesses of Scarborough.

[Incei-t. temp. Hen. HI. No. 152.]

T^HE Burgesses of Scarborough* (here throughout written
-*- ScartheV) complain of Simon de Hal, Sheriff of York-
shire,'' and his servants.

Firstly of wine, corn, salt and all other merchandize which
come into the King's harbour of Scarborough they take, as well
from foreigners as those who dwell in the town, by tally at half
the selling price, without the consent of the merchants; and when
the term comes they pay to some persons something or a little,
and to others nothing ; on which account merchants so avoid
the harbour that they cannot fulfil the King's farm- or keep up
the town.

Also they take in harbour from foreign and other fishermen,
herring without market, by four, three, and two lasts out of the
ship ; and, when a last is sold for twenty shillings, they pay ten,
and sornetimes less.

Also the Sheriff in person has come into harbour and
wished to take all the herring from the fishermen of Scar-
borough and others, without market ; and, if any one says to
the contrary, he is threatened with imprisonment and to have
his house burnt. Afterwards he takes the man's herring by
force ; and, when they sell for eighteen shillings, he pays nine
shillings only, and sometimes less. Within hearing of all, he
forbids any carter or trader to bring merchandize into the King's
town or to carry it out, and threatens to imprison any one
bringing merchandize through his bailiwick, and to take away
his chattels. Therefore no trader dares to return to the town,
whereby we lose the farm and the town remains destroyed.

" In the first year of King Edward II., Emery Gregg and Robert Wawayn,
for themselves and the rest of the middling and poor burgesses of Scardeburgh,
brought an action in the Exchequer, against Roger at Cross and others the rich
burgesses of that town, for divers trespasses done by the latter to the former
(Madox, Firma Burgi, p. 96).

•> Simon de Hal acted as Deputy Sheriff for Geoffrey de Neville, 5 — 7 Hen.
III., that is, 28 Oct., 1220, to 27 Oct., 1223. In 8 Hen. III. he was himself Sheriff.
This Geoffrey de Neville, called below Geoffrey de Noville, was Chamberlain of
England. He is mentioned p. g ante.

YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS. 123

Also when the butchers of Scarborough go through his
bailiwick to slaughter cattle, the Sheriff's servants take the
cattle away from them ; part they kill, and part they retain by
force, until they are ransomed.

Also the garrison of the Castle (castellani) together with
the Sheriff have taken from the Burgesses of Scarborough, as
was shown to the King's Justices last in eyre, in bread, flesh, ale,
fish, corn, salt, cloths, and other chattels, ;^300 bs. ^d. of which
they have returned and will return nothing, whereby those in
easy circumstances have become poor, and have afterwards
vacated the town, whereby it is reduced to such poverty that
they fear the King may lose aid from the town and his men,
when need shall arise, because they cannot give to the King that
which others by force and unjustly have extorted.

Also it is to be shown to the King and his Council that,
when the Sheriff wishes to have any wares in the town, and any
one will not give them at his pleasure, he threatens to set fire to
the town. And at the coming of G[eoffrey] de Noville, Cham-
berlain, he will seize the better inhabitants of the town, imprison
them in the Castle, and deprive them of all their lands and
property, wherefore we pray most diligently the King and his
Counc^il in these things abovesaid to bestow aid and advice.

Also the Sheriff gives his servants such mastery as was
never known in our harbour. A servant of his forbids all traders
to sell their merchandize before the Sheriff takes what he wants
for himself, which is against the customs of the realm and our
liberties.

Also ships and traders, when they come to Scarborough
with their merchandize, ask leave from the King's bailiffs, to
enter the harbour with their cargo in safety; and, when in
harbour, the Sheriff's servant comes and takes their merchandize,
at his own pleasure. Whereas the bailiffs give them leave to
enter, and neither the Sheriff nor his servant will acquit the
things taken, the ships of Scarborough and men on their arrival
in harbour are distrained to discharge the Sheriff's debt, where-
fore we pray counsel and aid for the love of God.

There is besides in the manor of Drax, a Priory'' worth
;^300 a year and more, besides the advowsons of five churches
belonging to the Priory. The advowson of the Priory belongs
to the lord of the said manor.

the Hautes Pyrenees. It formed part of the dowry of Eleanor of Poitou, wife of
Henry II. of England, and remained in the possession of the English Crown until
the year 1451, when the whole of Gascony was surrendered to the French.

^ A house of Austin Canons was founded at Drax in the reign of Henry I.
by William Paynell, instigated to that devotion by Archbishop Thurstan, who died
in 1 140. The advowsons of seven churches were given by William Paynell at the
foundation, namely Drax and Bingley in Yorkshire ; Roxby, Middle Rasen, and
Irnham in Lincolnshire ; and Saltby in Leicestershire. The house was dedicated
to St. Nicholas.

" This is a mistake. The Priory of the Holy Trinity, in Micklegate, was
founded in the reign of William II., by Ralph Paynell, a Domesday Baron. A
very full account of the founder and his descendants, is given in the York Volume
of the Archaeological Institute. It was a Benedictine House, subject to the Abbey
of St. Martin, near Tours.

value of the Priory or of the advowsons appurtenant to it, they
cannot say any fixed sum, but it is worth twice as much as the
Priory of Drax (set in duplo valet predictum Prioratum de Drax).

The whole manor of Drax is warren, but of the value of
the warren they can say nothing. The perquisites of the said
warren belong to the court of Drax.

Seven and a half knights' fees belong to the manor of Drax,
of which Geoffrey de Beningworthe holds three, and Simon de
Steynegreve four and a half Carleton and Camelesforde ^ are

de Brus, to whom they were given some time after the date of the Domesday Sur-
vey, that is to say, either in tlie last few months of the Conqueror's reign, or in that
of his son. The Peter who held these manors at the time of this extent was Peter
de Brus II., son of Peter I., son of Adam II., son of Adam I., son of Robert de
Brus, the original grantee. These manors are still held by his descendants, having
never been sold since the time of the original grant.

'' The district around Agen, a town on the Garonne, N.W. of Toulouse.

» This grant is entered on the Charter Roll, 25 Hen. III., m. 4. On 2 July,
1261, the King, then in the Tower of London, after reciting that he had granted
to Peter of Savoy, that his executors might retain possession of the Honour and
Earldom of Richmond for a period of seven years after his death, for fulfilling the
trusts of his will, further granted that if Peter's heirs should be out of England at
the time of his death, he would, without making any difficulty, receive their homage,
provided the heirs made proper provisions for the executors receiving the rents and
profits during the period of seven years abovementioned (.Patent Roll, 45 Hen. III.,

county to the said Count, to have and to hold to him and to his
heirs, in the name of inheritance, the land of Agenois, or the
money which Louis, King of France,^ ought to give for Agenois,
up to the value of Richmondshire with its appurtenances, which
the ancestors of the said Count held, and will be well and law-
fully appraised at its just annual value by two knights elected
for that purpose ; one to be nominated by the King of England,
the other by the Count,'' If one or both these knights die after
election, and before the valuation be made, then the King and
the Count shall put others in their stead ; each his own as above
said. And if it happen that such two knights cannot agree as
to the value of that county, then a third shall be chosen by
the noble lady Marguerite, Queen of France; so that the value
agreed upon by the last with one of the others shall be taken.
The King of England binds himself to distrain those whom the
last-named knight shall call to make the valuation, and to aid
and advise loyally upon their oaths. This valuation is to be
made within the year that John, eldest son and heir of the said
Count, and the lady Beatrice, daughter of the King of England,
shall be espoused and married.'^ And the said Count of Britany

the King thereupon granted (Pat., 53 (sic) Hen. HI., m. 27^ the said Honor, Castle,

the Honor of Richmond ; which lands Peter de Savoy passed to the King in ex-
change for the Honor of Hastings. After which, viz., in 50 Hen. HI., this John

the Exchequer, that is, 1,000 marcs on Ascension Day, and 1,000 marcs on All
Saints' Day, until the said extent should be fully made, as in the agreement between
the King and Duke was more fully contained. Provision for adjusting accounts
between the King and Duke, in case the extent should exceed, or be less than the
said sum of £1,200. This grant not to derogate from an agreement made before
about making an exchange for the Earldom, or from anything else touching the
said agreement (Patent Rolls, 59 Hen. III., m. 9 J. Dugdale (Baronage, vol. i.,

in such manner, that if the land of Agenois or the money be
more than the value of the county of Richmond, found by the
knights aforesaid, the King of France shall render to the King
of England the overplus ; if less, the King of England shall
make up to the Count the value of that county in his lands
nearest to Agenois. And this exchange the King of England
wills and grants to the Count in such wise, that he may take and
hold all these things well and in peace, as his inheritance, of the
King of France, and do homage to him, until the King of
England has appointed to him the value of the county of Rich-
mond, as aforesaid, either in the kingdom of France, or in the
kingdom of England. And this appointment shall be made
and completed by the King of England, within six years after

the carucate held by the heirs of William the Clerk, seven acres
are given to the house of Jervaulx (domui de Jore vallibus),

LXXX. George DE CANTlLUPE.a Proof of age and Inq. p.m..

[i Edw. I. No. 16, m. 22.]

A 1 Witnesses brought to prove the age of George de Cantilupe,
* • before the King's Council at Westminster, on Sunday,
three weeks from Easter-day, viz. the eve of the Apostles, Philip
and James, in the first of the reign of Edward (30 April, 1273).
Peter, Prior of Henton, of the Carthusian order, sworn and
examined, says, that the said George was born at Bergeveny, on

° Son and heir of William, son of William de Cantilupe. He was a minor
and in the King's custody at the time of his father's death in 1254 (Excerpta i
Rotulis Finium, vol. ii., pp. 100, 195, 209J. His mother was Eva, daughter and
coheir of William de Braose, who brought as her portion the Lordship of Breck-
nock and the Castle of Abergavenny. On 4 Nov., 1273, Master R. de Cliff,
Escheator citra, was ordered to seize into the King's hand the lands of George de
Cantilupe which he held in chief; and at the same time similar orders were given
to Geoffrey de Geneville, Justiciar of Ireland, to seize the lands held in that country
in chief by barony ( in capite per baroniam ) by George de Cantilupe, who had gone
the way of all flesh (viam carnis universe ingrediebatur) on Wednesday the feast
of St. Luke (18 Oct., 1273) (Rot. Fin., i Edw. L, m. 3;. On i March, 1273-4,
the King took the fealty of Eudo la Zusche, who had married Milisent, one of the
sisters and heirs of George de Cantilupe, and of John de Hastinges, son and heir
of Joan de Hastinges, the elder sister (eynescie sororis). A partition of the estates
was made, but it does not refer to the Yorkshire portion (Ibid., 2 Edw. L, m. 30J.
12 Nov., 1275. The King to the Sheriff of Somersetshire. The manors of Eves-
ham and Ottescumb, which Joan la Bruere held in dower of the inheritance of
William Bruere, have fallen into purparty of Roger de Mortimer (Mortuo mari) and
Maude his wife, John de Hasting', Eudo la Zuche and Milisent his wife, sister and
one of the heirs of George de Cantilupe, and Humfrey de Bohun, of the inheritance
of the said William Bruwere, which manors Roger seized after the Battle of Eves-
ham, and which he has now given back to us to be partitioned between him and
his coheirs and parceners of the said inheritance. The Sheriff is directed to give
seisin to the said Roger and Maude, Eudo and Milisent, John, and Humfrey, the
heirs of the said William. John de Hasting', who is a minor and in ward to the
King, ought to have together with Eudo and Milisent one third of the said manors,
and John's half of the said third to be taken into the King's hand (Ibid., 3 Edw.
L, m. 2).

Good Friday (die Parasceve), 35 or 36 Henry, father of the now
King ;^ and this he knows because he was some time chaplain of
William de Cantilupe, grandfather of George; and, at the time
George was born, he attended to the execution of the testament
of the said William, in the place of W. de Cantilupe, Bishop of
Worcester, and William father of George, executors of the
testament aforesaid. And he says that William, grandfather of
George, died in the year of George's birth,'' or in that immedi-
ately preceding, and that the report of the country (fama patrie)
is that George was twenty-one years old on Easter-eve -last past.

John, Prior of Saint Mark's Hospital, Billeswyke, outside
Bristol, says, that he understands for certain according to country
report, and by the testimony of trustworthy persons, that George
was twenty-one years old on Easter-eve last ; and this he knows
because he was ordained priest twenty-five years ago, and the
father of George died at Calvestone,'^ now eighteen years ago,
and three years before his death, George was born at Bergeveny.
And he is confident of the premises, because he (witness) was a
native of the parts of Calvestone (quia tj'axit originem in parti-
bus de Calvestone), where the said William died and had land.

Alan de Wauton, knight, sworn, says, that he agrees with
the Priors, and this he understands by common report of the
country, and by knights and other trustworthy persons, who
have related the same to him in good faith.

Peter de Bruges, sworn, says, that on Easter-eve last,
twenty-one years had past since George was born ; and he knows
this, because he was then at Bridgewater (Bruges Walteri), with
the Constable of the Castle, who on the morrow of the Close of
Easter next following, held the Hundred-court there, and the
rumour came to them of the birth of George, at Bergeveny.
And he adds that about one or two years after the birth, he
crossed with King Henry to Gascony.^

Robert de Trilleke, sworn, says, like the aforesaid, and adds
that he knows this by inspecting the chronicles in Bergeveny

» Easter, 35 Hen. III., fell on 16 April, 1251, and in the following year on 31
March.

■> William, son of William de Cantilupe, paid homage for his father's lands on
3 March, 1250-1 (Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, vol. ii., p. looj. This evidence, which
is contemporary, contradicts some of the above statements. George would seem
to have been born at Easter, 1252.

" The Abbot of Pershore, and James Fres' (Fresell), the King's Escheator,
were commanded on 10 Oct., 1254, to seize the lands of which William de Canti-
lupe' died seised in their bailiwick, and keep the same until the King should
otherwise order (Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, vol. ii., p. 195J.

Priory. He heard the men of Bergeveny disputing together as
to the age of George, who finally agreed that he was twenty-
one years old on Easter-eve this year.

Thomas Creyke, sworn, says as before, and he knows this
because Anastasia, his wife, was first married to Richard Wason,
who had by her a son, now a Canon at Briweton, born in the
same year as George, namely, on the feast of all Saints, now
twenty-one years ago (i Nov.), and George was born at Ber-
geveny, on Easter-eve next following.

Robert Blundel, knight," sworn, says, that he knows well
that George was twenty-one years old on Easter-eve last, because
he was sent to Bergeveny, as a messenger by Sir ^Thomas Corbet
to William, father of George, to ask for his lord's land in Lyde-
ham, who came on Wednesday in Easter-week, to Bergeveny,
where he found the wife of William lying in childbed with
George.

John de Baskerville, knight, agrees with the others, and
adds that he knows this by the relation of knights, and other
trustworthy persons of the County of Bergeveny, where George
was born.

Henry Murdake, knight, says the same, and adds that he
knows this by the relation of knights, &c., as above.

John Faukes, of Dertemuthe, sworn, agrees with the afore-
said, and says, that he knows that George was born at Bergeveny,
on Easter-eve, 36 Henry (30 March, 1252), by inspecting the
chronicles of Totnes Priory, in Devon.

William de Merle,*' knight, agrees &c., and adds, that he
knows this by the oath of Sir Adam de Gurdun, and other
trustworthy persons, who were of the household (familia) of
William de Cantilupe, father of George.

John de Pycheforde, knight, agrees with William de Herle,
adding that he married a cousin of the said George, viz., the
daughter of William de Evreux (ipse desponsavit consanguineam
predicti G. scilicet filiam WiU'i de Ebroicis), and so more
diligently inquired as to the age of the said George, from Sirs
Adam de Gurdun and Robert de Tregoz, and others, who were
of the household of W. de Cantilupe, his father. <=

who say upon their oath, that Gilbert de Gaunt, who is dead,
held of the King in chief and barony, the town (villatam) of
Hundemanby,'' but that he granted the same town (villam) with
its appurtenances without any exception, to Gilbert, his son and
heir, in marriage with Lora de Balliol (de Balyolo),^ and gave
her dower of it, and placed them a long time before his decease
in full seisin.

He held the manor of Helage, in Swaldale,"* of the grant
of John of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (Richemund), by the
service of one pair of gilt spurs. There is in demesne there, a
capital messuage, worth 4^. One hundred acres of arable land

» The family of Gaunt is said to have acquired Swaledale by the marriage of
Gilbert de Gauht, Lord of Folkingham, in Lincolnshire, with Matilda, daughter of
Stephen, Earl of Richmond. He died in 1138. His great grandson and namesake
was the Gilbert de Gaunt whose inquisition is given above (Plantagenet Harrison's
History of Yorkshire, vol. i., p. 229). He paid homage to the King on 23 Feb.,
124 1-2, for the lands of his father, another Gilbert de Gaunt (Excerpta e Rotulis
Finium, vol. i., p. 370^. On his death, which was probably shortly before the date
of this inquisition, he was succeeded by his son Gilbert, who after paying fealty,
had his father's lands given back to him on condition, that when the King should
come into England he should then pay homage (Rot. Fin. 2 Edw. L, m. 31 j. The
Fine Roll, whilst Edward L was still on his way home from Palestine, is headed
thus : — " Fines for the first year of the reign of King Edward, son of King Henry,

LXXXii. Peter de Brus.^ Extent of Lands.

[i Edw. I. No. 31.]

Writ directed to William de Boyville, Escheator beyond Trent, and tested
by Walter de Merton,'' Chancellor, at Westminster, 20 April, in the
second year of Edward (1274). Reference is made to a command lately
given to John de Reygate, late Escheator beyond Trent, that he should
give seisin of their several shares to the parceners of the inheritance of
Peter de Brus, deceased, according to the partition recently made, but
partition of the knight's fees is not yet made : as appears by the peti-
tion of John de Bellew, who has taken to wife Laderina, sister and one
of the heirs of Peter. The Escheator is now commanded to take into
the King's hand all fees which were of Peter in his bailiwick, and keep
them until otherwise ordered,'^ giving in the mean time notice to the
heirs and parceners to be before the King, or those holding his place in
England, in eight days from the feast of S. John Baptist (i July, 1274),
to receive their respective shares of the said fees, according to the par-
tition then to be made in the Court of Chancery.

By the endorsement the Escheator returns that he has done as the
writ commanded, but that he is not clearly satisfied as to the full
number of fees. The heirs have had notice to appear on the day named,
and Hugh de Coloum, sub-escheator in the County of York, has had a
precept on Monday the morrow of Pentecost (19 May).

A . . . . Richard de Heton seven carucates of land in the same
manner . . for half a fee. Anselm de Harpam three carucates

'■ On 27 Sept., 1237, the King, then at York, was pleased to approve of a
marriage which had been contracted between Peter, son and heir of Peter de Brus,
and Hillary, eldest daughter of Peter de Mauley (de Malo Lacu) ; and also of one
between Peter, son and heir of the said Peter de Mauley, and Joan, eldest daughter
of the said Peter de Brus (Patent Roll, No. 46, 21 Hen. HI., m. 2). On 15 Nov.,
1240, Peter de Brus, usually called Peter de Brus HI., paid a fine of 200 marcs for
his relief on succeeding to the lands of his father, Peter, son of Peter de Brus, who
had gone on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Excerpia e Rotulis Finium, vol. i.,
p. 332J. At his death, as is mentioned in the above inquisition, his four sisters,
Agnes, wife of Walter de Faucumberge, Lucy, wife of Marmaduke de Twenge,
Margaret, wife of Robert de Ros of Wark, and Ladereyna, wife of John de Bellew,
were his coheirs. His sister, Joan de Mauley, must, it is clear from this, have died
without issue. Walter of Hemingburgh (vol. i., p. 341), who was a Canon of
Guisboroiigh, a priory of which Peter de Brus was patron, and who lived within
a few miles of Skelton Castle, states that he died on 18 Sept. (xiv. Kalendas
Octobris), 1272, which is confirmed as to the day by an entry in a calendar for-
merly belonging to that priory (Coll. Top. et Gen., vol. iv., p. 261, quoted in
Atkinson's History of Cleveland, vol. ii., p. 25;. The year is no doubt correct,
although it has been alleged he died in 1271. He certainly was alive as late as 25
Nov., 1271, when there is a memorandum entered on the Close Roll (56 Hen. IIL,
m. 13^), that the King had granted to Peter de Brus the custody of the land and
heir of Walter de Lindeseye, together with his marriage. He was dead before 28
Sept., 1272, when the King ordered John de Reygate, Escheator beyond Trent, to
seize Peter de Brus's lands into the King's hand (Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, vol.
ii., p. 582;.

'' Edward had not then returned to England from the Holy Land, where he
was at the time of his father's death. During his prolonged absence from the
kingdom writs were issued with the teste of the Chancellor. Edward landed at
Dover on Thursday, 2nd Aug., 1274.

son of Robert, who, being sworn, say that from the time of the
foundation- of the Priory, the lords of Albemarle in time of
vacancy had only one man as warden at the gates of the Priory,
to defend the house from any coming and injuring the same;
and that the Canons by their own will, without asking leave
from their patrons of Albemarle, could freely elect as Prior
whomsoever they would, and, the election made, they were used
only to present their elect to the said patrons, who at such time
of vacancy challenged no other right; but whereas the Priory
held of their patrons in chief six carucates and a half of land,
in the mean time they were seized, though they received nothing
else therefrom ; and when the Prior is installed he pays the
accustomed relief for the said carucates.

the state of custody and mode of electing a Prior of Boulton
in Cravene, at time of vacancy, and in the time of their patrons,
formerly lords of Albemarle, the tenor of which I have executed
in full, as by the inquisition sealed with the seals of the jurors
directed to yoli hereupon more fully is contained, who say by
their oath that the lords of Albemarle at the time of vacancy of
the Priory, neither challenged nor ought to challenge any right,
save that they sent their man to guard the gates of the Priory,
as their warden or janitor, and to defend them against those
coming, and from enemies. Of other articles contained in the
King's writ, by the inquisition thereof transmitted to you, you
may be fully certified. Farewell in the Lord.

-^*- tenor of the King's letter, I inquired by my office, namely :

Whereas it is the custom of every lordship that the tenants
in their several changes have seisin of their fee, until it appears
who is the next heir and has a better right in that tenement,
what did they do in their surrenders for the tenement which they
held of the lords of Albemarle, and how much did they hold.

The jury said that they held six carucates of the said lords,
and only paid relief out of them as was fitting, the lords
receiving nothing else from them.

152 YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS.

Asked^ also whether they were in the habit of giving any-
thing to the said lords at their admission, for according to what
I heard related, five had given ; whether such payment was
made by way of amends for any offence committed, such as
coming to election without asking leave, or that they might as a
benefit obtain greater grace in conducting their own affairs
before the lords of Albemarle, the answer was — that they were
unable to inquire whether they should give any money to the
lords. If they did so, this was rather by way of obtaining the
benevolence of the lords, than any thing which they had of right
so to pay to them.

What will appear upon these points and others in the sealed
inquisition transmitted to you, let your circumspect judgment
discern. Farewell in the Lord.

Lxxxiv. , John de Boulton. Land given by his father to

Malton Priory.

[3 Edw. I. No. yg.]

Writ directed to Philip de Wylegeby, Escheator beyond Trent, that John de
Boulton '' had shown to the King, that when Thomas de Boulton, his
father, was on the point of death and his mind unsound (dum lahoraret
in extremis non sane mentis), he gave to the Prior and Convent of
Malton, in perpetual almoyne, certain land of his in Swynton" which
he held of John Paynel, who held of the King in chief; and the
Escheator had taken that land into the King's hand ; but the Prior, by
colour of a letter for again having seisin, had regained it. If Thomas
had aliened the land in the manner stated, the land to be again taken
into the King's hand and safely kept. Dated at Windsor, 8 Feb., 3rd
year (1274-5).

TnquisitiON made at York, on Wednesday after the feast of
^ the Annunciation of the B.V.M., 3rd year<i (27 March, 1275),

'The original of this part of the inquisition reads as follows: — "Requisiti
eciatti utrum aliquid consueverunt conferre dominis predictis in sua admissione,
secundum quod audivi referre, quod quinque contulerant; utrum talis collacio
facta fuit propter emendacionem delicti quod commiserant, scilicet ad eleccionem
veniendo licencia non petita, an ut majorem graciam in suis agendis coram dictis
dominis Albemarlie ut feod' optinerent. Responsum fuit quod inquirere non
potuerunt, quod aliquam pecuniam (pec'ciam) predictis dominis conferrent. Et si
aliquam conferrent, hoc pocius fuit benivolenciam dominorum captando, quam
aliquid pro jure quod habebant eisdem conferendo. Quid super hiis et aliis in

Lxxxvii. Hospital of S. Nicholas York.

[3 Edw. I. No. 55.]

Writ dated at Windsor, 17 July, 3rd year {1275), recited in the preamble to
the inquisition annexed.

HPhe King sent to Gwychard de Charrum and William de
-*- Northburgh, that whereas it was shown on behalf of the
Master and Brethren of the Hospital of S. Nicholas, York, that
one carucate of land and one acre and a half of meadow in the
suburb of the City of York, were provided for the support of
lepers coming to the Hospital by the ancestors of the King, and
confirmed by them, and that they and their predecessors had
peacefully held the land and meadow from the time when they
were first enfeoffed, until Robert de Creppinge, sometime Sheriff
of Yorkshire'' in the late King Henry's time, ejected them
unjustly and without judgment, so that that meadow had been
withheld by him and other Sheriffs of Yorkshire for twenty years,
to the no mean damage of the said Master and Brethren and
their manifest disinherison. — Now Robert de Creppinge, called
by the said Gwychard and William, says that while he was
Sheriff of Yorkshire, he saw that the acre and a half of meadow
abutted upon the King's vivary of Fosse, so that at every
inundation of the water the meadow was covered ; and because
he saw that if the King should wish to move his mills, then
beneath the Castle, and to raise the head of his vivary, that
meadow would be under water every hour of the year. He
believed, as some of the Wapentake of Bulmere gave him to
understand, that the meadow appertained to the King, and for

» " Unde secundum statutum domini Regis, Judeo qui debitum exigit ab eodem,
competunt cjs. et iijd. terre ejusdem." No. xci., is another inquisition under the
same statute.

1* Robert de Creppinge was Sheriff from the last half of 34 Hen. III. up to and
including the first half of 38 Hen. III., that is from the spring of 1250 to the same
season in 1253.

156 YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS.

that reason he seized it into the King's hand and held it so long
as he was Sheriff of the County, and all the Sheriffs up to now
have done the same.

T NQUISITION is made by men as well of the City as of the
-'- suburb (surburbio) of the same, namely, by the oath of
Walter de Grymeston, John Verdenel, William de Malton,
William de Roston, Peter Walding, Alexander Tailor (cissoris),
Nicholas son of Hugh, Thomas de Nafferton, Simon Everard,
John de Dalton, William Long (le lung), and Thomas Clerk
(clerici), who say upon their oath that the said carucate of land
and the meadow are not, and never were, of ancient demesne of
the crown ; nor were they ever farmed at the King's Exchequer.
They say that the Empress Maud, formerly Queen of England,
bought the carucate of land and the meadow, and gave them
to the said Hospital and Brethren on this condition — that they
would for ever find for all lepers coming to that Hospital, on
the eve of SS. Peter and Paul (28th June), the victuals, under-
written, that is to say : bread and ale, mullet (muluellum) with
butter, salmon when it could be had, and cheese. By this
service and by no other do they hold that land and meadow.

Asked whether the meadow appertains to the carucate of
land, they say it is so. They say also that the carucate of land
is worth every year six marcs and a half, and the meadow every
year one marc.

Lxxxviii. Hospital of St. Nicholas, York.

[3 Edw. I. No. 76.]
No writ.

T NQUISITION made between the King of the one part, and the
-*- Master and- Brethren of the Hospital of S. Nicholas, York,
of the other part, by Walter [de Grymejston of York, William
de Melton of the same, Alexander Tailor (cissorem) of the same,
William Long (longum) of the same, Thomas de Nafferton of the
same, William de Roston of the same, Robert son of Benedict
of Hewrde, Thomas de Hoton of the same, Michael de Hewrde,
John Neubonde of the same, Peter de Dicton of the same, and
William de Wyuestowe. They say that the good Queen of
England, Maud, gave to the Master and Brethren of the said
Hospital, one carucate of land with one acre and a half of
meadow in the fields of the suburb of the City of York — which
gift was confirmed by King Stephen — to feed all the lepers of

YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS. 157

the County of York, coming thither by custom on the eve of
the Apostles Peter and Paul, for the souls of all their ancestors
and successors ; and they were in seisin of the meadow aforesaid
from the time of the said good Queen Maud, up to the second
time that Robert de Creppinge was Sheriff of Yorkshire, when
he disseised them thereof, and held it for the use of his own
horses ; and so every Sheriff, one after the other, has withheld it.
The meadow is worth by the year half a marc ; and the disseisin
has continued for twenty years and more.

Lxxxix. Alan de Kynthorp.

[3 Edw. I. No. II.]
Writ dated at Oxford, 6 Aug., 3rd year (1275).

Inquisition^ made before Sir Philip de Willeby, Escheator,
-^ by Peter de Gayola, . . . . de Adbriston, William Malcake,
Robert del le Clif, Ralph de Loketon, Richard Erchebaud,
Nicholas de Levesham, Alan de Sandesby, John son of Oda (.'),
Philip de Adbristan, John son of Robert, and John Campiiin,
who say upon their oath that Alan de Kynthorp and Petronilla
(Parnell) his wife, held one messuage and four bovates of land,
with the appurtenances, and one windmill in the town of
Folcardby,!' and rents of freemen and bondmen (bondorum),
20s. ()d., by the gift of John de Crachalle, father of said Parnell,
in marriage, which land was of the serjeanty of Emma, daughter
of Alan Wasthose<= of Snaythte ; and whereas the land of Fol-
kardby was aliened by Emma, who sold it to John de Crakehale,
therefore it was farmed to the King at 40^. by the year, and he
died no otherwise in homage of the King; which land Parnell
holds because it was given to Alan with her in marriage. The
messuage, four bovates, and mill are worth by the year £6 %s.,
of which Alan paid to Sir John de Eyvile 6s. 8d. yearly for suit
of his men of Athelyngflet at Alan's mill of Folcardby.

" This inquisition is very difficult to read on account of being discoloured with
a wash now turned brown. On 17 July, 1275, Philip de Wileby, the Escheator
beyond Trent, was ordered to seize the lands of which Alan de Kinthorp died seised
in chief (Rot. Fin., 3 Edw. I., m. 17;. See also No. xcviii.

*" Fockerby, in the parish of Adlingfleet.

" See No. xxvii., where it appears that Emma Wasthose was dead before 13
Feb., 1250-1. The serjeanty by which Emma Wastehose (the ancestress of Alice,
daughter of John de Cunthorpe) held twelve bovates of land in chief in Folkardeby,
was by carrying the King's breakfast throuifh the country (cariandi jentaculum
domini Regis per patriam ) which was commuted at 40J., payable at the Exchequer
(Yorkshire Assize Rolls, Hilary, 21 Edw. I. (1292-3), No. Iioi, m. ySj.

158 YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS.

Also the said Alan held of the lord Edmund [the King's
brother] ^ three carucates of land, with the appurtenances, in
Kynthorp,'' after that the lord Henry, King of England, father
of Edmund, gave to him the manor of Pyk', with the appurte-
nances, and [Alan] held the land by the service of keeping the
forest of Pykering (per serviciutn faciendi custodiam foreste de
Pyk'), and it is worth with the mill \2s. and three pounds of
cumin (cymini) and one pound of pepper, and he yielded to the
lord Edmund 20s. yearly for his bailiwick.

Also Alan held in Ellerburne<= 20 one watermill,

and six bovates of land of the Hospital of Saint Leonard at
York, yielding yearly lox, and they are worth by the year
£ . . \os. lod. and one pound of cumin.

He held in Ellerburne, of the Knights Templars, for 13^.,
one toft worth yearly 3J. ; and in Thorntonji^ of Acilia Moraunt,
by knight service, eight bovates, eight acres of land, worth yearly
£6 2s.

Petronilla (or Parnell), daughter of Geoffrey, son of Alan
de Kynthorp, is his next heir, and aged eight years.

son of John of the same, Henry son of Roger of the same,

[3 Edw. I. No. 63.]

Writ dated at Westminster, 27 May, 3rd year (1275), ordering the Justices
assigned for the custody of the Jews, that after searching their rolls and
chirographers' chests of Jewry, in the presence of Paytefain, son of
Benedict the Jew, if he wish to be present, they should cause to be
shown (purari) all the debts in which John de Eyvylle is bound to the
said Jew ; also in the presence of Master Elias and Salomon son of
Saloraoh, Jews of London, all debts in which the same John is bound to
Elyas Blunt, late a Jew of London, which, after his death, came (as it
is said) to us and the said Master Elyas and Salomon, namely, as well
net as of penalties (tarn de claro quant de penis), and usury appertaining
to those debts, and that they should send the return made under seal,
and return the writ.

Another writ dated at Westminster, 15 June, 3rd year (1275).

^ No doubt the same person as the John de Eyville who was one of the last
amongst the adherents of Simon de Montfort to yield to the royal authority. After
the disastrous battle of Evesham, he set up a fortified camp at Ely, and issuing
forth thence, plundered Lincoln and Norwich, carrying off the Jews and. rich
citizens for the sake of their ransoms." He was driven out of the Isle of Ely in
July, 1267, by Prince Edward, and managed to escape and join the Earl of
Gloucester, who was holding London against the King. He shared in the general
pacification of the kingdom, which was shortly afterwards brought about by the
enactment of the Provisions of Westminster. Some of the above-named debts
very possibly arose from expenses and fines imposed in relation to this rebellion.

[3 Edw. I. No. 12.]
No writ.

Inquisition made of the lands and tenements formerly of
-^ Nicholas, son of Sir Anketin Malore, deceased, on the
morrow of S. Leonard the Abbot, 3 Edward (7 Nov., 1275),
before Philip de Wyllecheby, Escheator, at York, by twelve
freemen, namely : by William Thorny of Tyverington,'' Patrick
de Stytelu[m],<= Robert Hamelake of the same, Richard Thorny
of Wygenthorpe, Robert de Maners of Stytelum, Ralph de
Hoton, dwelling in Stytelum, Robert de Clifforde, William de
Langetwayte, Robert Marescall of Thadcastre, Hugh de Brenkel
of Neuton Kyme, John de Oscum of the same, Richard Maunsel
of Tyverington, who say that the said Nicholas held in demesne
on the day of his death, six bovates of land in North Dalton<i
of the King in chief by serjeanty, worth by the year six marcs,
out of which 20s. are paid yearly to the King.
He held also in demesne : —

In Multhorpe^ three carucates of land of the heirs of Sir
Andrew Luttrell by free service, worth by the year ^17 \os. lod.

In Tyverington, of the same fee and for the same service,
eleven bovates of land and one watermill, worth by the year
£y 6s. ; and the advowson of the church of Tyverington, which
when void, is worth 40s.

* On 19 Sept., 1275, the Escheator beyond Trent was commanded to seize the
lands of Anketin Malore, his son and heir, Nicholas, having died whilst in the custody
of Peter de Chauvente, to whom his guardianship had been granted by the King
(Rot. Fin., 3 Edw. I., m. 12 J. The King, on 23 Nov., 1275, being then at the Tower
of London, took the homage of Ralph Salveyn and Margery, his wife, of William
Burdun and Avice his wife, of Nicholas de Wolkesthorpe (called above Oclestorpe)
and Nicholaa, his wife, and William de Clenton (called above Glenton) and Sarra,
his wife, the wives being the sisters and heiresses of Nicholas Malore. A partition
was made at the same time between the heiresses (Ibid., 4 Edw. I., m. 32J. On
8 Oct., 1287, Thomas de Normanville, Escheator beyond Trent, was ordered to
seize into the King's hand the lands of Anketin Salveyn, son and heir of Margery,
wife of Ralph Salveyn, deceased (Ibid., 15 Edw. I., m. 3). On 10 June, 1288, the
same Escheator was ordered to seize into the King's hand the lands of Sarra,
daughter of Anketin Malore, deceased (Ibid., 16 Edw. I., m. loj. From an entry
on a De Banco Roll (Mich. 6 Edw. II. (1312), m. 105^, about the advowson of the
church of Terrington, there called Deverington, which William, son of William le
Latimer, claimed against Milo de Stapelton, it appears that Nicholas Malore had
an elder brother, Anketin, who died without issue, and that William le Latimer,
the father, had been enfeoffed in the advowson by William Burdon and Avice his
wife (The Antiquary, vol. xxi., p. 22J.

xciv. The Burgesses of Scarborough.

Rents of Houses and Mills.

[3 Edw. I. No. 94.]

Writ dated at Westminster 8 Nov., 1275, and addressed to Robert de Neville,
Gwychard de Charrum, William de Northburgh, Ranulf de Dacre, and
Alexander de Kyrketon. Reciting that it had been shown to the King
on behalf of his men of Scarborough (Scardeburg'), that they have of
their own moneys built certain houses and mills there, and that they have,
with the common consent and assent of the commonalty of the same,
spent a great part of the rents of the same, and of other rents paid for
drying nets on their grounds (fundis) and for common of pasture (of
which they had been accustomed to receive the profit for their own use) ,
towards the keeping up of the quay (hayi) of the port of the same town,
and have expended the residue of the same rents sometimes in satisfying
the farm rents due from the said town to the King, which were not sufficient
in themselves, and sometimes by assigning them to other objects for the
good of the town ; and that the Sheriff of Yorkshire, by reason of having
seised the same town into the King's hand, seised all the aforesaid rents,
together with the true and ancient farm of the same town, whereby the
quay of the same port had utterly fallen down, and many houses of the
same town, through the quay not being repaired, had been destroyed and
thrown down by the raging of the sea (per maris intemperiem), and
persons arriving at the same port were in great danger, to the ruin and
impoverishment of the whole of the same town. The King, wishing to
be informed as to whether the said rents belonged to the farm of the
town or to the demesne of the said men, assigned Robert de Neville
and the others to inquire by the oaths of honest and lawful men of the
County of York, by whom the truth of the matter may be the better
known, whether the said rents belong to the said farm or to the demesne
of the men of Scarborough ; and if to the said farm, how and by what
reason ; and if to the demesne of the said men, from what cause, how,
in what manner, and by what warrant. Therefore they (the Commis-
sioners), or three of them, were commanded to make the said inquisition
on a certain day and place, to be fixed on beforehand, and to send it
sealed with their seals and with the seals of those making the inquisition ,
together with this writ, to the King.. The Sheriff, on being informed of
the day and place, is commanded to collect together a sufficient number
of honest and lawful men for making the inquisition.

Inquisition made before Sirs (d'nis), Robert de Neville,
-'■ William de Northburgh, and Alexander de Kyrketon,, at
York, on the morrovif of S. Benedict the Abbot, 4th year
(March 22, 1275-6), by the oath of William de S. Quintin,
Geoffrey Agwylon, William de Brigham, James Moor (de Mora),
James de Friville, Robert de Fritheby, knights, Thomas de
Odbreston,^ Bartholomew de Scalleby, Matthew de Claphov.^
Robert de Kayton, William de Schireburne, Robert de Wyerne,

built with the moneys of the Burgesses of Scarborough, as they

say, and the rents for drying nets on the grounds (fundis), and
common of pasture of the same Burgesses, belong to the farm
of Scarborough (Scardeburgh') due to the King, or to the
demesne of the said Burgesses ; they say that the rents of certain
houses newly placed between the quay (le Kay) and the wall of
the Borough of Scarborough ; and the rents of two water-mills
.... nnesdale newly built, and constructed out of the moneys

of the said Burgesses ; and the rent of a wind-mill

Wallesgrave^ and Scarborough, newly built out of the moneys
of the said Burgesses ; and also the rent of a house the said
Burgesses bought of William, son of Thomas of Lindeberge,
belong, and ought to belong, to the demesne of the said
Burgesses (the profits whereof they have been accustomed, and
ought to take for their own use), and not to the farm of the said
town ; saving to the King the ancient gabelage (gabulagio) from
the tenements on which the three mills are placed, that is for
the site of each, 4^. ; and saving to the King 6d. a year from
the house bought from the said William ; saving also to the
King the rent for drying nets on the moat and on the rear-
mound'' of the Castle of Scarborough. As to how, and in what
manner, and by what warrant, they say that King Henry III.
granted by a charter to the said Burgesses the Borough of
Scarborough for ever, on paying £66 of silver at the Exchequer
in London, every year at Michaelmas. He also granted to the
said Burgesses by another charter, that they might lawfully build
and approve the waste places within the bounds of the said
Borough, belonging to the said Burgesses and their tenements,
as they should think best for themselves and their Borough.
The same King also gave and granted to the said Burgesses his
manor of Wallesgrave, with its appurtenances, to the enlarge-
ment of their Borough, to be approved as should seem to them
best, as appears by the charter of the said King which they
have about it, by paying annually £2^, sterling to the said
Exchequer on the said feast.

' The meaning of this passage is not clear. Piscarya should probably be
regarded as an adjective, the haya piscarya will be then some kind of enclosure for

To attain a thing it is necessary to reach it, may not the meaning of the passage

Two writs dated at Westminster, 28 Oct., 4th year (1276).

T NQUISITION made before the Sheriff and Escheator of York-
-^ shire, by Alexander de Kirkeby, Walter de la Bruere of the
same, H . . . de Wytheton, William son of Beatrice of Farnley,
Henry son of Ralph of the same, Adam de Elstanbotheme,
Richard Atte Becke of Askewyth, John son of Thurstan of
Denton, Walter son of William of the same, James Woderove
of Methelay, Peter Coleman of the same, and William son of
Helot of Ayketon, who say by their oath that Joan (Johanna),
daughter of William de Dufton, on the day of her death held

" Edmund Plantagenet, Earl of Cornwall, second son of Richard, Earl of
Cornwall and King of the Romans, brother of Henry III. Richard is called King
of Almain or Germany, in No. cxx.

^ By the writs (addressed to the Escheators of the Counties of York and North-
ampton), it is stated that this Joan held of the late King Henry III. in 'chief {que
tenuit de domino H. Rege patre nostra) at the time of her death. The inquisition for
Northamptonshire finds that she held in this county of the King in chief the manor
of Wycle, with the exception of three and a half virgates of land held by Isabel de
Grey. Mauger le Vavasur, her son and heir, was aged twenty-six years. Mauger
le Vavasur, his father, was at this time dead, as stated in the inquisition for York-
shire, and the above extent of his lands is made, but the respective counties are
not named.

There is a pedigree of the Vavasours of Weston in Whitaker's Leeds, and
Foster's Yorkshire Families. They continued at that place in the male line till
1833. There is, however, no mention of Joan de Dufton. Mr. Roberts (Cal. Gen.,
vol. i., p. 235J reads the name, Duston. On 7 Dec. 1277, the King, then at Windsor,
took the homage of Mauger, son of Mauger le Vavasour (Rot. Fin., 5 Edw. I., m.
23 J ; and on 29 May, 1280, in consideration of ;£'300, the King granted to Agnes,
late wife of Mauger le Vavasour, the custody of the lands and heirs of the said
Mauger, with their marriage (Ibid., 8 Edw. I., m. loj.

Mauger, son of Mauger le Wavasur, is her next heir, aged thirty-

the County of Northampton, named Wyclive, of the inheritance

and heir of Margaret de Steynton, for his mother's lands (Rot. Fin., 5. Edw. I.,

Robert son of Walter of Mickelthwayt, and Walter de Bruere,
who say that Nigel, son of Alan de Aldefeud, with the assent
and good will of his father, endowed at the church door of
Pennesthorn^ Egidia his wife with a third part of all the lands
and tenements whereof the said Alan was in seisin on the day
on which he wedded her, without charter or writing. From the
church door Alan received the same Nigel and Egidia at his
manor of Aldefelde, and there found them all necessaries
continuously for sixteen years, within which time they had six
sons and daughters. After sixteen years were past they removed
to Egidia's manor of Azerlay,'' by the council and assent of
Alan, and dwelt there up to Nigel's death. Then Alan took
William, Nigel's son and heir, and married him to the daughter
of Sir Elias de Knol, taking for his marriage forty marcs ; and
whereas Alan retained with him her children at his own cost,
she would not solicit him, but allowed her dower to remain in
the lifetime of Alan, as well as of certain lands with which he
endowed her.

Alan had on the day on which she was dowered the manor
of Aldefelde, extended at ^^13 os. 4^d., of Mubray's fee; also in
Stodlay seven bovates of land, worth by the year _^3 35-., of
Moubray's fee; also in Horselay<= in the field'! of Aldefelde,
24 acres of land (12s.) and one watermill, worth by the year
four and a half marcs, of the same fee. He had also in the field
of Notton « 22 bovates of land, five acres of meadow, and 3^. 6d.

Writ directed to Thomas de Normanville, the King's Steward, and dated at
Canterbury, i8 Feb., 6th year (1277-8). Gilbert de Neville and Cecily
(Cecilia) his wife, aunt and co-heir of Gilbert le Cundy (under age and
in ward to the King) have shown that, whereas Gilbert de. Berneval,
father of Cecily and grandfather of Gilbert le Cundy, was on the day of
his death seised in fee of nine messuages and nine bovates of land in
Aberford and Luterington," which the King's bailiffs ought to have
taken and did not, John, son of Alan Sampson of York, asserting that
he was enfeoffed by the said Gilbert de Berneval of the said messuages
and land, fraudulently intruded into the same, and yet detains them in
occupation, in prejudice of the King's right and wardship, and to the
manifest damage and disherison of the said Cecily and Gilbert le Cundy,
inquiry is therefore to be made.

A further writ, directed to the same Thomas de Normanville, and dated at
Westminster, i8 May, 6th year (1278), recites the foregoing inquisition ;
and, after pointing out its unsatisfactory nature, by reason of the short-
ness of the seisin had, and the debility of the said Gilbert, orders that
further inquiry be made, and that all lands and tenements be taken into
the King's hand and safely kept, until further order be given therein.

widow of Ralph de Kaynes, re-married John Paynel. From the Inq. p. m.

CXI. Thomas DE Hedon. Prebend of Tange.

[7 Edw. I. No. 61.]

Writ of certiorari directed to Thomas de Normanville, the King's Steward
beyond Trent, and given by the hand of Master Thomas Beke, at
Westminster, 13 May, 7th year (1279). Recites that Master Thomas
de Hedon, Canon of York, complained that, whereas five acres of
meadow between Layrthorpe and Tange •> appertain to his prebend in
Tange, and all his predecessors, Canons of that prebend, were in
possession of the same as bf right, Robert de Creppins;e, formerly
Sheriff of Yorkshire, by taking that meadow into the late King's hand,
unjustly, disseised John de Gayteham his (Thomas) immediate prede-
cessor, and the now Sheriff still detains it. The King to be certified of
the truth of the matter.

Inquisition made at York, before Thomas de Normanville,
-•- on the morrow of the Apostles Peter and Paul, 7 Edward
(30 June, 1279), concerning five acres of meadow with the
appurtenances between Leyrthorpe and Tange, belonging to the
prebend of Master Thomas de Hedon, Canon of York, by the
jurors under-written, viz : by William de Holteby, Robert de
, Bulforde, Richard de Waxande, Nicholas de Rivers (de Riper'),
Paulin de Lyllinge, William Burdoun, knights, Thomas de Ves-
pount, Peter de Evercewyke,<= Robert de Yolton, William de
Touthorpe, John de Stoketon, and Richard son of Hugh of the
same, who say by their oath that all the predecessors of the said
Thomas, Canons of the said prebend, as in right thereof, were in
possession of the meadow until Robert de Creppenge, formerly
Shefifif of the County, took it into the hand of the late King
Henry, and unjustly disseised John de Geytham, the last prede-
cessor of Thomas ; and so that disseisin has continued since
then from Sheriff to Sheriff until now. The said Robert took
the meadow into the hand of King Henry for his own con-
venience in order to feed his own horses, and for that reason he
appropriated to the King as much soil as was flooded yearly by
the Fosse. When during the year the Fosse rises, then a boat

can come and go by water, and at will mow grass, one foot of
the mower being in the boat and the other upon the land.
When the water goes down, the soil remains to the prebend, and
that meadow is worth in all issues by the year, ten shillings."

* Peter de Mauley 11., son and heir of Peter de Mauley, a Poitevin, by Isabella,
daughter and heiress of Robert de Turnham and Joan, daughter and heiress of
William Fossard of Mulgrave and Doncaster. If Walter of Hemingburgh (vol. i.,
p. 232) can be trusted, the first Peter got his wife, with her great inheritance, as a
reward for having murdered John's nephew, Arthur of Brittany. " Loco mercedis
iniquiae " are his words. But the fact that he agreed to pay the large sum of 7,000
marcs for marrying this heiress throws considerable doubt on this statement
(Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, vol. i., p. 54). It was not until 1221 that he managed to
get the debt paid {Rot. Litt. Claus., vol. i., p. 466 b). He was a man very much
connected with King John, and held many official positions then and in the next
reign. In 1202 John gave him land in Normandy (Rot. Normannice, 66J. Under
the year 1211, Matthew Paris (Chronica Majora, vol. ii., p. 533J enumerates him
amongst the King's evil counsellors. He was Sheriff of Dorset and Somerset, 2 — 5
Hen. III., and of Northants, 20 Hen. III. In 1220 he had the custody of the
important Castle of Corfe confided to him, and in 1226 that of Shirburn as well
(Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, vol. i., pp. 52, 143). In 1240 he had a grant of the
marriage of Beatrix, widow of John de Basingeham, for the benefit of his kinsman,
Gerard de St. Flouer (Close Rolls, 24 Hen. III., m. 18J. He was dead before 22
Dec, 1241, when the Sheriff of Vorkshire was ordered to take into the King's hand
the lands which were Peter de Mauley's, his son being a minor (Excerpta e
Rotulis Finium, vol. i., pp. 364, 379, 409, and No. xiii. j On 15 Oct., 1247, ^^^ King
took the homage of Peter, son of Peter de Mauley, for all his father's lands, of which
the Sheriff of Yorkshire was commanded to give him seisin (Close Roll, 31 Hen.
III., m. 2). He had been already married, when not much more than eleven years of
age, to Hillaria, eldest daughter of Peter de Brus II. (See p. 139 n). There was
no issue by this marriage, for if there had been they would have appeared amongst
the heirs of Peter de Brus III. As he left a son and heir he must have married a
second time, but the name of this wife does not appear. On g Feb., 1253-4, he
had a grant of free warren in his demesne lands of Sandeshende, Lithe, Great
Barneby, Little Barneby, Mikelby, Eluuerdeby, Slethholme, Westingeby, Egeton,

The King to Thomas de Normanville, his Steward. Whereas we have not

Brus, deceased, who held of us in chief, amongst the heirs and partners
of the same inheritance, on account of which, at the suit of Margaret
de Ros,° sister and one of the heirs of the said Peter, we have often
commanded Walter de Faucumberge and Agnes his wife, and the other
coheirs and partners of the aforesaid inheritance, that they should on
certain days and places appear before us for the purpose of receiving
their shares of the aforesaid fees ; and whereas they have taken no
trouble to come according to our order for that purpose, we command
you to inquire what, and how many fees the said Peter held, and how
much they may be worth by the year. In the meantime letting the heirs
and partners aforesaid know, that they be then present there to receive
their shares in the aforesaid fees, warning them that whether they come
or not, we shall not neglect to cause to be assigned to the aforesaid
Margaret, as may be just, the share falling to her in this part. Dated

Albemarle, they provide a remedy. Dated at Rhuddlan (Rothelanum),
25 June [no year].

'"Phe King sent to Master Thomas de Sudinton his writ
-*- Whereas Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, and Isabel de
Fortibus, Countess of Albemarle, have granted in the King's
Court that the variance between them concerning the wood of
Swindon,* which the Countess asserts to appertain to her manor
of Harewode, be heard and determined by him, he is commanded
to inquire into the truth of the matter by the oath of knights
and other lawful men of the neighbourhood of Harewode and
Kirkeby. Dated at Westminster, 28 May, 8th year (1280). The
Sheriff was commanded to cause to come at this day, to wit,
Monday after the feast of S. James the Apostle (29 July, 1280),
twelve, etc. At which day come the Earl and Countess by their
attorneys.

The Countess says (by attorney) that Margery de Redvers
(Ripar')^ her grandmother (whose heir she is), was seised as of
fee and right of Swindon wood, as appertaining to her manor
of Harewode, by the metes and bounds underwritten, namely:
beginning from the bank (riparia) of the Werf, and so ascending
by the beck which runs through the town of Witheton, between
the wood of Rigton and of Swindon, inclosing Holker, and so by
the said beck (rivulum) up to the ditch (sikettum) which runs

between the covert of Swindon wood from the field of Kirkeby,
as far as the bank of the Werf, taking all the esplees thereof
forthcoming from the said wood, as in herbage, pannage of
hogs, as well demesne as foreign, minerals found, honey and
wax, animals said to be waifs, if any chance to be found, and
eyries of birds of prey (aerias omnia avium de preda), to take,
give, and sell estovers at will, and all other esplees which apper-
tain to the same wood, without" view or livery of any forester of
the said Earl or of his ancestors, and doing all other things as
of her own demesne wood. And that the said Earl or his ances-
tors ought not to have anything in the wood, save hunting and
attachments of the same, and this within the metes and bounds
aforesaid. She says also that the foresters of the Earl or of his
ancestors had not puture, corn in autumn, bonepeny, or any-
thing else from the tenants of herself or her ancestors, nor ought
the tenants to come to his Court of Knaresburge, for any inqui-
sition to be made for hunting or other things, and they never
did until Richard, formerly King of Germany (Almann) father
of the Earl, whose heir he is, by one William de Ireby, his
Steward, unjustly occupied the said wood, while the King was
in parts beyond the sea ; and that the said Edmund yet detains
it in occupation. And this she is ready to verify as the Court
shall consider, and prays that it be inquired into, etc.

And the said Earl comes by attorney and acknowledges
that the wood is the right of the Countess, but says that she
ought to have there only reasonable estovers, namely, to burn
and .... husbote and heybote, and by view and livery of his
foresters of Knaresburge, and that the said wood is within the
metes of his forest of Knaresburge. He says also that he, his
ancestors, and others holding the manor of Knaresburge from
the time of King John, grandfather of the now King, have had
in the said wood, herbage, pannage, minerals, honey, wax,
animals which are said to be wayfs, eyries of birds of prey,
attachments, amercements, and all other things appertaining to
the wood, saving nevertheless to the Countess her reasonable
estovers, and this by the view and livery of his foresters. He
says also that his foresters ought to have puture, bonepeny, and
corn in autumn from the tenants of the Countess, and these
tenants ought to come to the Earl's Court when summoned to
make inquisition, and they have been used to do so from the
time aforesaid. And this he prays may be inquired into, and
the Countess likewise, etc.

212 YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS.

Matthew de Braem, Roger de Cressewell, William de Stubhous,
and William de Midelton, sworn and elected by the consent of the
parties, say upon their oath that Margery de Redvers (Ripar' ),
grandmother of the Countess, whose heir she is, held the wood
of Swindon as appurtenant to her manor of Harewode by the
metes and bounds aforesaid, taking therein herbage, pannage as
well of her own hogs as of others whomsoever, attachments of
wood, minerals (miner am), honey, wax, animals which are called
wayfs, and all things forthcoming from the said wood as though
of her own demesne, and therefrom may sell and give at her
own will, without view and livery of the Earl's foresters, saving
nevertheless to the Earl, hunting, and attachments and amerce-
ments of the same. They say also that the Earl's foresters
ought not to have puture, corn in autumn, or bonepeny from
the tenants of the Countess, nor ought her tenants to come to
the Earl's Court of Knaresburge for making inquisition concern-
ing hunting or other things, save within the metes and bounds
aforesaid of the wood, nor used they to do so before the
occupation made by William de Ireby, Steward of Richard,
formerly King of Germany (Alemanri), father of the said
Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, whose heir he is. They say also
that the said Earl yet detains in occupation the premises in
the manner aforesaid.

Therefore it is considered that the Countess should recover
her seisin of the said wood, by the metes and bounds aforesaid.
And that the said Earl has not anything in the wood, save
only hunting, with attachments and amercements of the same.
And that his foresters henceforth may not have puture, corn in
autumn, or bonepeny from the tenants of the Countess, serf or
free, nor shall her tenants henceforth come to the Earl's Court of
Knaresburge for making any inquisitions; but, when inquisitions
are made by the said tenants, they shall be for hunting or for
trespass of hunting within the metes and bounds of the said
wood, as is aforesaid."

AND John de Thorpe.

[8 Edw. I. No. 40.]

Writ directed to the Sheriff of Yorkshire, concerning a plea lately moved in
the King's court, between [Robert], Bishop of Durham,* of one part,
and John de Averange and John de Thorpe of the other part, and com-
manding him to take with him two Knights of the County, and to
inquire by the oath of twelve men of the parts of Skipwhyt'' — of whom
six to be chosen by the Bishop (if he will), and the other six by John
and John — what are and ought to be the right bounds and divisions
between the Bishop's wood of Blakewode and the tenements of John
and John in the moor of Skipwhyt, and before the octave of S. Michael
now instant (6 October), to cause such bounds and divisions to be made,
and to remit the result of the inquiry, together with the writ. Dated at

HThe Sheriff, having taken with him Sirs Geoffrey Aguyllun
-*- and Henry son of Conayn, went in person to the place, on
Thursday after the feast of S. Michael, 8 Edward (3 Oct., 1280),
and inquired by the oath of Robert de Balliol, William Burdun,

Robert de Osgodeby, Walter de Elmeshey," William de Moreby,
Robert Anvers, Robert le Lung of Kelkefeude, and Alexander
Burdun, chosen by John de Averenches^ and John de Thorpe,
who, being sworn, say upon their oath that the right bounds and
divisions between the Bishop's wood of Blakwode and the
tenements of John and John in Scipwhit moor, begin in a place
called Anvers pit towards the east, and extend in a line up to
another place towards the west, which is called Burdun pit, and
from that place, to wit, Burdun pit, as far as another place
which is called Moreby pit, towards the west in a line, and so
from place to place westwards, as far as the bounds of Rikale.

INQUISITION" of twelve Jurors between Use and Derewent,
namely, Robert de Menthorph, William de Moreby, Robert
de Osgoteby, Walter de Hemelsay, Conan de Kelkefelde,
William Darel, John de Castello, Robert le Lung of Kelkefelde,
Walter le Serjaunt of the same, Philip son of Hauwis of the
same, Robert de Henlay, and John son of Eva of Osgoteby,
about the Hay of Langwathe and the forestry (forestarie)
■between the waters of Use and Derewent, in the 8th year,
before Thomas de Normanville, Steward of the King ; who say
on their [oath], that John de Cawude, grandfather of David de
Cawude who now is, held the bailiwick of the Hay of Langwath
on the day he died, but not the forestry between the waters . . .
.... but held the bailiwick of that forest before the forest had
been disafforested, and this by the service of guarding the afore-
said bailiwick by grant of King Edward that now is,

and it ought by hereditary right to belong to the said David, as

grandson and heir of the said John de Cawude of

Langwath is now in the hand of the Archbishop. The bailiwick
of the Hay of Langwath was worth five marcs a year, and the
bailiwick of the forestry [between the waters of Use] and Dere-
went, before it was disafforested, was worth lOOJ. a year. And to
this inquisition the aforesaid Jurors have set their seals.

cxxiv. The Men of Hedon. Ad. q. d.

[g Edw. I. No. 45.]

Writ*" directed to Thomas de Normanvyle, and referring to a petition of the
men of Hedon that they might have the town to farm. Inquiry is
therefore commanded to be made as to the value, &c. Dated at West-
minster, 30 Nov., in the ninth year (1280).

yngton, Alexander de Holme, William de Grymestone, Simon
de Lunde, William de Hoton, Henry de Wyveton, and William
de Holme, who say upon their oath that, things being as they
are now (quod rebus se habentibus ut nunc), the town of Hedon
is worth by the year forty pounds with reprises reckoned, to wit,
yearly, to one bailiff, 20s. ; to two under bailiffs with clerk, 20j. ;
in keeping up two bridges, a mill, hall, and gaol, 20s., if the
town were in the King's hand.

They say also upon their oath that the men are straitened
and poor (tenues et pmiperes). As to whether it be to the
advantage or damage of the King if the town be let in fee farm,
they believe that if it be so demised to them, it may in course
of time be improved ; if not demised to them, it may in a short
time be deteriorated in value; because many wish to move
away on account of their being talliated here every year, and
they have near this two other towns, Ravensered* and the Hul,*
with two good harbours, growing from day to day, where they
can dwell without tallage."

* At the back is a memorandum, that this writ came to "me " at London, on
Wednesday before the Conversion of S. Paul (22 Jan., 1280-1). The writ for
Lincolnshire is endorsed with a note that the said Adam died on the day of the
Conception of the Blessed Virgin in the ninth year (8 Dec, 1280) — " et dictus Adam
obiit die Concepcionis Beate Marie anno nono.'' Both these dates present difficulties.
The first may be explained by supposing the endorsement to have been made by
the official in London, on receiving the inquisition and writ sewn thereto from the
Escheator. As to the date of Adam de Everingham's death, it is difficult to give
any satisfactory explanation, unless he died in London, and the writ was issued the
same day. This solution seems negatived by the date of the death being endorsed
on the Lincolnshire writ, giving one to believe that his death took place in that

■i There is a writ of certiorari, with the teste of the King at Deseninge, on the
nth of Feb., in the ninth year (1280-1), which relates to a complaint made by
Isabel, who was wife of William de Chauncy, that, although her late husband at
her marriage endowed her at the church door with the manor of Wylweton
(Willoughton), and she ought to have it according to law and custom of the realm,
the King's Steward, Richard de Holebroke, had taken it into the King's hand, and
yet detained it. An inquisition is thereupon taken in Lincolnshire (undated), by
which it is found that William endowed Isabel with this manor at the church door.
Mention is here made of William having received for the term of his life, by the
hand of Lucy (Lucie) de Chancy, out of the manor of Swynhop, ten marcs yearly.
The jury find Philip to be son and heir, and that he will be eighteen years old at
the feast of S. Martin-in-winter (11 Nov., laSi).

Writ* directed to the Sheriff of Yorkshire, concerning a petition from the
Canons of the church of Howden (here, Houedene), that they have a
quarry in Tevesdale,''/ and cannot conveniently lead stone therefrom for
the fabric of their church, on account of a nook of the King's quarry
adjoining. Dated at Westminster, 29 May, gth year (1281).

T NQUISITTON upon the articles contained in tlie writ, made by
-^ Robert le Marescall oi Tadecastre, Thomas de Goderomgate,
Adam Cardon, Thomas le Keu, Robert le Gardiner of Stutton,
Geoffrey de Thorneton, Henry son of Gera (fiP Gere), Thomas
de Kereby, Hugh de Brinkill, Elias le Gierke of Neuton, John
de Oskumbe, and Richard de Malesoueres, who, being sworn,
say upon their oath that it would not be to the annoyance or
damage of anyone, if the King were to grant to the Canons of
Houedon the nook (nokam), but to the damage of the King,
because the king now has more of the quarry than that nook,
which is accounted to be one acre ; and an acre in the quarry is
worth to sell, six marcs. And whereas a certain part of that
nook is being carried for the fabric of the King's castle, they
estimate the residue at five marcs. Therefore they say that it
would not be to greater damage than of five marcs, because
if the King wish to do any works in stone, he can have in the
same quarry an acre which is worth more, for . ..." In
witness, etc.

the same quarry. Robert le Vavasour granted to St. Peter's, York, for the health
of his soul and of Juliana, his wife, a way-leave in Thevedale, which was part of
his freehold, for getting stone for building and -repairing the Minster ( York Fabric

[g Edw. I. No. 52 A.]

Writ, directed to Thomas de Normanville, and commanding inquiry to be

ance of his town of Scardeburge, if he should grant to the Abbot of
Citeaux," that he and his successors, Abbots of that place, might hold
a messuage which had been granted by John Lomb to the Abbot and
to his church of Scardeburge, and had been taken by the bailiffs of
town into the King's hand by reason of the Statute of Mortmain.
Dated at Westminster, 10 June, gth year (1281).

Beaufrunt, Henry le Caretter, Henry de Roston, Robert Beau-
frunt, John Gerarde, John son of William, Simon de Roston,
Henry de Bromton, Adam Hatred, Robert de Northfolke, Roger
Farman, and Roger Haldan, who say upon their oath that it
would be to the damage of the King, if that messuage were
to come into mortmain, because he would so lose an escheat;
and that it would be to the annoyance of the town, because the
Burgesses have the King's charter,'' that no messuage, burgage,
land, rent, or any possession within the limits of the borough,
shall be given, sold, assigned, bequeathed, or otherwise aliened,
to any religious men without the assent and will of the com-
monalty of the said borough.

They say also that John Cattesbak, father of John Lambe,
bought that messuage of Simon, son of Thomas of Lindeberge,
to hold of the Abbot and Convent of Citeaux, and the said
John procured a quit-claim from Simon to the Abbot and
Convent of all the right he had in the said messuage, and after-
wards himself (John) took the messuage of them, to hold to
him and his heirs or assigns by the service of I2d. only yearly.

» Cicestr'. A mistake for Cisterc'. The church was given by Richard I. to the
Abbey of the Cistercians at Albemarle, to which it was appropriated, and a
Vicarage ordained therein in 1321 ; and on the dissolution of that Alien Monastery,

appropriated (Lawton's Collection, p. 309).

T^XTENT of the manor of Aton in Clivelonde, of which

(in crastino Palmarum), 10 Edward I. (23 March, 128 1-2), at
Aton, before Henry de Bray, by Sir John de Meynil, Sir Robert
de Scotherskalfe, knights, William de Mumbray, Robert de
Pothou, John de Kerkeby, Thomas de Waxsont, William Tosti,

* At the end of m. 17 are some figures which (bad to make out) seem to
indicate the whole value of Richmondshire. The following is a copy of this
portion, as well as can be made out : — " Summa Agen' ij"vj°xix/j. vj. v]d. in
sterling. Summa in Turron' x^cccclxxvijij. ijs., et sic excedit summa de Agen' in

sterling., summam Richemund' in sterling., viij°xiij/j s. viijd." This entry

will be understood by referring back to No. Lxxvii, where it was agreed that John
de Brittany, Earl of Richmond, should have the Agenois until he could get the
County of Richmond. From this entry it appears that the Agenois exceeded the
value of Richmondshire by over £&i^z- The two totals given, the first on p. 230,
£■667 13s. lojd., and the one above, £553 14s. id., make in all £'1221 7s. iijfi.
The rents derived from the parts of the Honour in other Counties must have made
up the difference.

* Son and heir of Hugh Wake and Joan de Stuteville (No. xcvii). He
married Hawisfe, daughter, and ultimately sole heiress of Robert de Quency, as her
only sister Joan, wife of Sir Humfrey de Bohun, died without issue (Cal. Gen.
vol. i., pp. Ill, 346J. On 10 Feb., 1281-2, the King, then at Cirencester, ordered
Thomas de Normanville, the Escheator beyond Trent, to seize the lands which
Baldwin de Wake, deceased, held in chief (Rot. Fin., 10 Edw. I., m. i6j. On
13 April following, being then at Devizes, he ordered the manor of Hykam,
extended at ;f 17 los. 3d., to be assigned to his widow, Hawise, in dower, she
paying the annual rent to the Crown of £'j gs. ^d., for which the Sheriff of
Lincolnshire was to be answerable to the Escheator (Ibid., m. 13). On 20 May in
the same year, the King, then at Worcester, granted to Henry de Bray, clerk, to
be held at the King's pleasure, the manor of Skeldinghope, which belonged to
Baldwin Wake deceased, who held in chief, and which was in the royal custody
by reason of John, son and heir of the aforesaid Baldwin, being under age and in
the custody of the King (Ibid., m. 12J. His widow, Hawise, died before 27 March,

de Marmyun, notwithstanding the Statute of Mortmain, had petitioned
for leave to assign six marcs worth of land and rent for the support of
a chaplain, to celebrate at Westanfelde, the King, being anxious to
encourage her laudable purpose, commands inquiry to be made as to
what damage (if any) will arise by granting her petition.

Tnquisition made at York, on the morrow of S. Matthew the
-^ Apostle, 10 Edw. (22 Sept., 1282), before Sir Thomas de
Normanville, the King's Steward, by Henry de Thorpe, Thomas

[lo Edw. I. No. i8.]
Writ dated at Rhuddlan (Rothelan), 20 Aug., loth year (1282).

Tnquisition made at York, on Monday after the feast of
-'- S. Michael, 10 Edward (5 Oct., 1282), before Thomas de
Normanvile, and John de Lythegreinnis, then Sheriff of York-
shire, by Peter de Rotherfeld, Andrew de Neivile, Henry de

» Nosterfield, a hamlet in the parish of West Tanfield, six miles N.W. of
Ripon.

*> Grandson of Robert Fitz Meldred (No. xxxviia.), and Isabella, sister and
heiress of Henry de Neville (Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, vol.'i., p. 156). His
father, Geoffrey, assumed the name of Neville. In 1254 Robert de Neville paid to
the Queen's garderobe £15 6s. 3d. for his relief (Ibid., vol. ii., p. 185). He married
Ida, widovif of Roger Bertram, as appears from the inquisiton taken at Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, on Sunday after the feast of S. Denis (Dionisii), 10 Edw. (4 Oct., 1282),
which finds that Robert de Nevill held no lands or tenements in the County of
Northumberland except one hundred pounds (libratas) of land, which he had by
reason of the dower of the lady Ida, his wife, who was formerly wife of Roger
Bertram, in Mitford and Felton. The finding in this inquisition as to the heir and
his age is the same as that given above in Yorkshire. By writ dated at Denbigh
(Dynbeghe), 23 Oct., loth year (1282), the King commands Henry de Normanvile,
his Escheator beyond Trent, that, having taken the oath of Ida, who was wife of
Robert de Nevyle, not to marry without the King's leave, he is to assign dower to
her out of the lands and tenements of her late husband. There is a similar mandate
(of the same date) to the Sheriff of Lincolnshire concerning the assignment of dower
in that County to the same Ida. His son and heir, Robert, married Mary, one of
the daughters and co-heirs of Ralph Fitz Ranulph, of Middlehara (No. lxvii.).
He predeceased his father and was buried at Coverham Abbey. He left a son
Ranulph, who as is mentioned, was his grandfather's heir. On 14 May, 1283,
Thomas de Normanville, the Escheator beyond Trent, was ordered by the King,
then at Glintlugathe, to allow the friends of Ranulph de Neville, grandson and
heir of Robert de Neville, deceased (who held in chief), who was under age and in
the King's custody, to plough and harrow (arrare et rebinare) the lands in his
bailiwick of the said Robert, and which were the inheritance of the said Ranulph
(Rot. Fin., II Edw. I., m. 15). Thomas de Normanville accounted to the King
for issues of the lands of Robert de Nevill, from 20 Aug., loth year (1282), to
II Jan., I2th year (1283-4), before the said lands were delivered to Ranulph, son
and heir of Robert (Exchequer Accounts ultra Trentam a J. The extent of knights'
fees belonging to Robert de Nevill will be found below (No. cxxxviii).

and seven bovates of land of Sir Walter de Grey ; and after his
death she did the service appertaining to the land to Sir Thomas

Tnquisition — whether four bovates of land with the appur-

committed felony, have been in the King's hand for a year and

William de Everle, William de Yrton, Robert de Wyern', Roger
de Wreltori, Roger de Morpath, Bernard de Bergh, Roger
Haldan, William de Thormoteby, Geoffrey son of Bartholomew

» " If the outlawed persons have freehold land it is to be seized immediately
into the hand of the lord King, and to be held for a year and a day, and it is to
return to the chief lords after that term, if he has held it from any other than the
King himself; in this latter case it shall be an escheat of the King himself ....
The cause why the land shall remain in the hand of the King seems to be this,
because in truth, when a person is convicted of any felony, he will be in the power
of the King to pull down his buildings, to root up his gardens, to plough up his
meadows. And since such things would turn to the great damage of the lord, in
the common interest it has been provided that buildings and gardens of this kind
should be preserved, and that the lord the King on such account should have the
profits of the whole of that land for a year and a day, and so everything in its
integrity should return into the hands of the chief lords." — Bracton, De Legibus
Anglia, Rolls edition, vol. ii., p. 343.

married (nupserat) a woman, and brought her along and certain
others who were present at the same time, .... by the King's
highway to one end of the town of Byrun.t" William Selisaule,
perceiving this, came up [and demanded] from them a ball

having no ball committed to him a pair of gloves by way of a
pledge for the ball ; and he, taking the gloves, went back home.
And certain other men of the town of Byrun, not known (.') to
the said William, coming out and hearing of the said passing
through,'' demanded that a ball should be given to them accord-

not avoid the blow of the arrow unless he struck him so that he
could not draw, ran at him, wishing to hit him on the arm so as
to hinder the flight (ictus) of the arrow, by misadventure struck

tion of the Burgesses of Richemond.

carucate of land in Multon, by the service of being the keeper
of the larder (larden') to the Earl of Richemond as of fee;
for that service he now yields los. yearly to the Earl, and does
no service. They know not who changed the service nor by
what warrant.

They say that Roald Fitz Alan ought to be Constable of
Richemond Castle as of fee, and ought to keep (servare) the
Castle in consideration of the ward belonging to the same. The
Earl now has it in his own hand and takes the ward for his own
use.

They say that Alan de Hertford ought to be the Sheriff of
Richemond, by rendering yearly to the Earl 20s. Alan is
neither Sheriff nor does he pay the 20s.

They say that William de Roulous, a stranger, held the
manors of Brunton, Croft, Kypling, and Scytheby* in chief of

manors in the King's Court as his inheritance and right, in the
time of King John, and while they were in the King's custody
saving the rights of anyone.

Alan de Kneton holds 12 librates of land in Kneton and
Midelton,^ doing foreign service and yielding los. yearly to the
Earl. And that land does service of drengage, to wit, to feed

the dogs, puppies (? pullanos) ........ (nutrices)

of the Lord Earl. The said Alan gave to Henry Mansel, with
Agnes his daughter, two bovates of land in the town of Midelton,
worth 20J. yearly. Also he gave to Gilbert de Neuton, with
Cecily his daughter, two bovates of land in the town of Midelton,
and a messuage, worth 26s. yearly. Also to Walter his son he
gave two bovates of land in the town of Kneton, and eight acres,

of the Earl in the town of Midelton, by such service as Alan
de Kneton holds his land. (The Abbot of) Fountains has

How, Elias de Thanefeld, Peter de Disford, Thomas Drepedewyl.
This is the verdict of the .twelve knights. Ranulf de Sules
was in the King's mercy for the forest, and held nine librates of
land in Thorneton Cundale<= and would not pay the amercement

•> The date of this inquisition must approximate very closely to that of No. iv.,
which was taken in the spring of 1245-6. Six of the jurors acted on both inquisi-
tions. Hugh de Bardelby of No. iv. is more correctly written here Hugh de
Balderby, John de Dounou, the first juror, was perhaps a relative of Thomas de
Aunou of No. iv.

° Thornton Bridge, near Cundall. In 1284-5, James de I^erff or Norff', on

Inquest, p. 185).

and the King took those nine librates into his hand, and gave
[them] to Hugh de Newile (they know not whether by charter
or not), and Hugh married his daughter to one . . . . de Nore-
folk with the said nine librates of land.

Lady Maude de Morwile gave Robert de Vipont in Cares-
thorp,^ IS librates of land of her dower that she might marry
where she would.

The Bishop of Karlisle takes those moneys because of the
son of John de Vipont, who is in ward to the King

Thomas Craune of Ayderby-vecunt^ held of the Earl of
Richemond six carucates of land for a foreign tenement,<= where-
of the Abbot of Fountains and the Hopitelers hold the said
land. And Thomas enfeoffed the Abbot and the Hospitalares
in the time of King Henry who now is. Wherefore the lord
P[eter de Savoy] loses the relief and ward of that land.

Merston, William le Stabler, Ralph de Camera, and Richard de
Morers, who say on their bath that the ancestors of David le
Lardiner had these liberties, that they ought to make the King's
larder, and keep the prisons of the King's forest, and that they
had measures of the King's corn at any time, and that they
were the King's sellers (venditores), and that they took daily ^d.
from the King's purse, whereof they have charters.

They say also that David's ancestors had these liberties
always, that they were wont to take every Saturday, from the
window of every baker selling bread, one loaf (panem), or \d. ;

his 4(f., as they were bought at the sea, by the faith of the
carters ; from each horse load of fish carried, one pennyworth
of fish for his penny, as it was bought at the sea. And they
say that they were wont to make distresses within the City of
York for the King's debts, and to take ^d. for each distress
made, and they were aldermen of the minstrels [aldremanni
fuerunt de menestrallis\.

These liberties David's ancestors used in the time of King
Henry, the grandfather of Lord Henry, now King of England,
and in the time of the Lord King Richard, until they were
interfered with (impediti). They say also that they used all the
said liberties in the name of the serjeanty which they had of
the King.

loaded at Hedon with wool and other merchandise, before the
King's prohibition was proclaimed in the County of York, to
wit, that no wool should be carried out of England by any
person, and on what days and in what places they caused the
ship to be loaded, and to be taken to Sandwich \_Sandwicum\,

burne, Laurence Pavay, Stephen le Poter, Henry Webster
(textor), Peter de Neuton, Ralph de Westland, Simon Gylt,
William Lambekyn, William Tyrel, William Kyffe, and Philip
Abot, who say on their oath that on the first Sunday in Lent,
in the 2nd year (18 Feb., 1273-4), in the port of Hedon, the
merchants loaded the ship, and the same day they caused her
to be taken towards Sandwich. In the said ship were 15 sacks
of wool, 24 cart loads of lead, and one last of ox-hides. The
Bailiffs of Hedon received the prohibition on the Saturday after
Mid-Lent in the same year (10 March, 1273-4), and published it
the same day. And they say that the merchants knew nothing
of the prohibition until they were seized at Har . . . and taken
to Sandwich.

Page 4. No. V. At the Assizes held at York, at Easter,
30 Hen. III. (1246), Elena, widow of WilHam de Percy, claimed
against Robert de Brus the third part of ten librates of land and
205. rent in Tattecastre ; against the Prior of Helagh Park the
third part of two marcs rent in the same town ; against Wymund
de Raleg' the third part of ten librates of land in Wandesforde and
Nafferton ; against Robert de Percy the third part of four bovates
of land in Oxton ; against Walter de Haulay the third part of three
bovates of land in Foston ; and against Robert de Dighton the third
part of two bovates of land in Nafferton, as her dower. Robert and
the others came and sought a view of the lands [petunt inde vis'),
which was granted them. Elena appointed Robert de Twenge or
Richard Kalle, her attorney. The defendants called to warranty
Henry de Percy, son and heir of William de Percy, who was under
age and in ward to the King, by charters of feoffment of the said
William, which they produced. The case was adjourned to Michael-
mas Term, at Westminster. In the meantime they were to speak
with the King. The defendants, except the Prior, appointed as their
attorney, William de Arundelle or Walter de Haulay. The Prior
appointed as his attorney, brother Nicholas, a canon of his house.

She further claimed her dower against the Abbot of Sallay,
Laurence Chamberlain (Camerarium), Richard Calle, Thomas
Marshall (Marescallum), Ingram de Percy, William de Percy, Alan
de Percy, Joscelin de Percy, Jordan del Estre, Thomas le Lardiner,
Walter de Duvedale, Reyner de Stockelde, and Henry de Percy,
who all satisfied her concerning her dower without leave of the
Justices,. therefore all in mercy. (Yorkshire Assize Rolls, N. i. i — 5,

a bovate of land in Kuwic (Cowick), which was adjourned until the
defendant came of age. At the same time she brought other actions
against Hugh de Stertebrigge and Milisant his wife, and against
Henry, son of Simon, about two half bovates of land in the same
vill, of which her father, Alan, had been seised in demesne in the
reign of King John, and which had descended to her as her father's
heir. She lost both these actions. Henry only claimed his half
bovate in right of his mother, Maud, who held the same in dower, a
fact Emma could not deny. Hugh and Milisant called to warranty
for their half bovate Adam de Tydewurthehag', who in his turn
called Emma herself to warranty, producing a charter of feoffment
by her father, by which he enfeoffed Geoffrey Clerk, Adam's grand-
father, whose heir he was in the said half bovate. Finally Adam
gave half a marc for licence to agree, Anthony Dawtrey {de Alia

Richard de Alencun, the defendant, by reason of Joan, daughter

Eudo de Lungvillers, and one part to Geoffrey de Nevill, by reason

made by all of them.

The jury say that Simon Fitz Walter presented the last parson,
one Williarn, to half the church ; and immediately after he was
admitted, came Alexander de Nevill. father of Joan, and presented
one Robert to a fourth part. Robert impleaded William before the
Archbishop, and William gave him two marcs yearly for peace sake.

church, sold one half of it to William de Nevill, who was father of
Sarra, mother of Thomas de Burgo (whose heir Thomas is), and by

because Ingram died s.p. Robert de Creppyng put in his claim to
the property (less one bovate), and vouched to warranty William de
Percy. The King recovered seisin. {De Banco, East., 7 Edw. I.,

Page 258. No. cxxxvii. 1273. William de Ebor. v. Robert
de Neville, senior, and Elyas de Rylleston, touching the presentation
to the church of Bruneshale [Burnsall]. Elyas, as to one half, says
that William de Heppeden, the ancestor of William de Ebor., did
(as William says) present the last parson, but that he did so in right
of Eustace de Rylleston (whose son and heir Elyas is) while Eustace
was under age and in ward to Heppedon. Judgment, that the
plaintiff do recover this half. As to the other half, Robert says that
the plaintiff forfeited his lands in the late war, and that the King
gave part of them to him, Robert, and that the plaintiff had never
redeemed them according to the Dictum of Kenileworth. Nevile
afterwards withdrew his claim. [De Banco, Trin., i Edw. I., No. 5,

Advowson of a church (83, 104, 108, 116, 169, 231 — 6, 241).

to the Bishop or Ordinary for institution into a vacant benefice. See Kennett,
Glossary, also Ayliffe's Parergon, pp. 410 — 17.

Advowson of a religious house (114, 128, 148 — 151). The right

of patronage acquired, sometimes by the founder of the house, and sometimes
by a powerful neighbour, who was chosen by the house as advocate, patron,
or champion. Sometimes the patron had the sole nomination of the abbot
or prior, and sometimes he granted a congi d' Hire or licence of electing to
the members of the house. See Kennett, Glossary, also Freeman, Norman
Conquest, vol v., p. 501.

Aferus, affrus (169). A horse or ox for farm service.

Agist, agistment (29, 218, 223 — 6). " The taking in the beasts

and cattle of every person being an inhabitant within a forest that may for
their money have common of herbage there for such beasts as are commonable
within a forest ; and this manner of taking in of cattle to pasture or feed by
the week or by the month or otherwise is called agisting of beasts or cattle,
and the common of herbage that they have there for their beasts is called
agistment. But it is to be understood that agistment is most properly the
common of herbage of any kind of ground or land or woods, or the money
that is received or due for the same." Manwood, t. 11, s. 1. See "Agister."

Agister (iii). An officer of the forest whose duty was to take in
beasts to agistment, that is, to pasture within the forest, or to feed on the
pannage, and who was answerable to the king for the money and profit arising

' from such agistment. Manwood, c. 11, s. i. See " Agist."

Aid, auxilium (4, 80, 146, and elsewhere). A pecuniary contri-
bution made by a tenant to his lord, originally levied at the will of the lord,
but by Magna Charta limited to three special occasions, viz. : — i. To make the
lord's eldest son a knight; 2. To marry his eldest daughter; 3. To ransom
his person when taken in war. Aid was due to the Crown from its immediate
tenants, and likewise to inferior lords from their immediate tenants. Madox
(Hist. Exch., c. 15; gives instances of several aids levied in early times
besides those above mentioned. Aid was nearly allied to scutage, hidage,
carucage, and tallage. See Madox (Hist. Exch., c. 15J, who amongst other
instances says that the aid levied by King Richard I. for the ransom of his
person when he was taken and imprisoned on his return from the Holy Land
was paid by the tenants in capite under the name of scutage, and by tenants
in socage or other inferior tenure under the name of hidage or carucage. The
Statute of Westminster the First limits the amount to be taken for an aid

GLOSSARY AND NOTES. 287

to twenty shillings for a knight's fee, and twenty shillings for each ^{'20 land
held in socage, and so in proportion for more or less. It also prescribes other
limitations as to levying aids.

Aldermen of the Minstrels (269). Headmen, rulers, governors,

or wardens of the guild of minstrels at York. See New English Dictionary ,
s. V. "Alderman." There were guilds of minstrels at both York and Beverley.

the Minstrels and Players" of Lincoln. See also Kennett, Glossary, s.v.,
Ministrallus.

Altile (plural altilia) (100). A fat fowl.

Allour (72), alour, alure. The walk or passage behind the battle-
ments of a castle or the parapet of a church or other building, the gutter of a
roof, a covered passage or cloister, an alley or aisle.

Almoigne or frankalmoigne, libera elemosina, free alms (4, 107, 114,
138, 143). The tenure by which religious corporations in almost every instance
held their lands. It was subject to no service except that of praying for the
soul of the donor and those of his ancestors and heirs, and except up to the
date of the Norman Conquest or thereabouts, the trinoda necessitas, i.e., the
duty of rendering military service, and the building and repair of castles,
bridges, and high roads. This tenure could not be created by a subject after
the Statute of V/estminster the Third, Quia Emptores, 18 Edw. I. It differed
from tenure by divine service in that lands held by the latter tenure were sub-
ject to fealty, &c., and also to distress in case of breach or neglect of the
service under which the land was held.

Amercement, amerciament (26, 211, 212, 267). The pecuniary

punishment of an offender against the king or other lord in his court, that is
found to be in misericordid, i.e., to have offended and to stand at the mercy of
the king or lord. An amercement differed from a fine in that it was arbitrarily
imposed at the discretion of the court, but a fine was fixed and certain.

Appeal, to (14). To accuse. Bracton, book iii., treatise ii.,
chapters 18 to 22 inclusive.

Approve, to, approviare, approvare (164, 210), to make profit or

advantage to oneself. To approve land, was to make the best benefit of it by
increasing the value or rent. By the Stat, of Merton, the lord is permitted to
approve, i.e., to enclose the waste lands of his manor. New English Did.

Arrare (254, note b), probably means to harrow. Du Cange, under

the second division of the word, gives the meaning as fatigare, exagitare,
vexare ; quo sensu travailler dicimus,

Arrentagium (148). Rent. Compare Blount, Law Dictionary ,

S.V., arrentare, " arrentation."

Assart (xlv., also 98, 99). Land cleared of wood and rendered
arable. To assart land in the forest without licence was a grave offence
against the forest laws, inasmuch as thereby the thickets and coverts were
plucked up by the roots, and could not grow again so as to afford food and
cover for the beasts of the forest. See Manwood, c. 9.

Assise or Assize. Jacob [Law Dictionary) says, that according

to our ancient books, assize is defined to be an assembly of knights and other
substantial men, with the justice in a certain place and at a certain time
appointed. This word is properly derived from the latin verb assideo to sit
together, and is also taken for the court, place, or time when and where the
writs and processes of assize are handled or taken. And in this signification
assize is general, as when the justices go their several circuits, with commis-
sions to take all assizes ; or special, where a special commission is granted to
certain persons (formerly oftentimes done) for taking an assize upon one or

288 GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

two disseisins only. There were five several commissions for a general assize,
viz. : — (i) Of Oyer and Terminer, directed to the judges and many other
gentlemen of the county by which they were empowered to try treasons,
felonies, &c. (2) Of Gaol delivery, directed to the judges and the clerk of
assize associate, which gave them power to try every prisoner in the gaol,
committed for any offence whatsoever, but none but prisoners. (3) Of Assize,
directed to the judges and the clerk of assize, to take assizes and do right upon
writs of assize brought before them, by such as were wrongfully thrust out of
their lands and possessions. (4) Of Nisi Prius, directed to the judges and
clerk of assize, by which civil causes grown to issue in the courts above, were
tried in the vacation by a Jury of twelve men of the county where the cause
of action arose. (5) A Commission of the Peace in every county of the
circuit, and all justices of the peace of the county were bound to be present
at the assizes, and the sheriff also, to give their attendance on the judges, or
they should be fined. The term assize was likewise applied to a jury where
assizes of novel disseisin were tried. The term assize also was used for a
writ for recovery of possession of things immovable, e.g., assise of novel
disseisin. It also signified a Statute or Act of Parliament, e.g., Assize of the
Forest, Assize of Bread and Ale, &c.

Assise of Novel Disseisin (282) was an action for recovery of
lands, tenements, rents, common of pasture, common way, or of an office, toll,
&c., brought by a tenant in fee simple, fee tail, or for life, who had been put
out of possession or disseised.

service [avera) of performing any work for his lord, by his beasts of draught
or burden.

Bailiff, ballivus (34). An officer of a manor, next in rank to the
steward. His principal duties were to inspect and superintend the works due
from the tenants of the manor, and see that they were properly performed.
Domesday of St. Paul'i, xxxv. The name was also given to any officer who
was deputed to look after the property of another. The sheriff was the king's
bailiff with regard to his county, which was frequently spoken of as his bailiwick.

measurement. The following measurements appear in these inquisitions,
viz. ; 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, II, 12, 15, 16, and 24 acres. A bovate appears to have
been the holding of a tenant who contributed one ox to the manorial team of
eight oxen. See Vinogradoff, p. 238.

New English Diet., s.v. "Bole," says boles or bolestids are places where in
ancient times (before smelting mills were invented), miners did fine their lead.

Burgage, burgagium (82, 220). A sort of quit rent paid to the chief
lord for the houses and tenements in a town or borough.

Burgage tenure is said by Lyttleton [Tenures, c. 10) to be the
tenure by which lands and tenements within boroughs and towns are holden
of a king or a subject by a certain annual rent. And such tenure, he says, is
but tenure in socage. The custom of Borough English was an incident of
burgage tenure in certain towns and places in England.

Carucate, carucata. A ploughland or hide was of uncertain extent,

but said to be the extent that could be ploughed by a team of eight oxen in
the course of a year. The size varied in different parts of the country and
according to the nature of the land. The normal size is said to be 120
acres, but in K\iVoy''s Inquest (Surt,), p. 446, are several examples, varying
from loSJ acres to 27I acres, and in the Register of Worcester Priory (C.S.),
a carucate appears to have contained 180 acres. Seebohm (Vill. Commun., p.
ij) gives instances of hides varying in area from 240 to 120 acres. Coke (1.
Inst., 6gfl.) says that a plowland may contain a messuage, wood, meadow, and
pasture. See post., " Hide," also Elphinstone, Interpretation of Deeds, s.v.
" Measures of land."

Castleguard (83, 175, 226) is an imposition laid upon such of the

king's subjects as dwell within a certain compass of any castle, to the main-
tenance of such as watch and ward it. It is sometimes used for the circuit
itself which is inhabited by such as are subject to this service. Termes de la
Ley. Tenure by castleguard is to hold of the superior lord by the service of
guarding a tower, a door, or some other place of his castle. To hold of the
king by castleguard is knight's service in capite, but to hold by a certairt rent
for castleguard is but socage. Lyttleton's Tenures, book ii., c. 4 ; see also
c. 20 of Magna Charta, g Hen. IH., as to doing of castle ward.

Chase is generally understood to mean a franchise of a middle nature

between a forest and a park. (See " Forest," post.). Manwood (c. i, sec. 4),
says, "In these three things doth a forest differ from a chase, that is to say,
in particular laws, in particular offices, and in certain courts that are incident
unto a forest for the execution of those laws. For a chase hath no particular
laws that are proper to a chase only ; for all offenders in a chase are to be
punished by the common law, and not by the forest law, nor by any other law
that is proper to a chase. A chase hath no such officers as a forest hath, but
only keepers and woodwards. Chase, chacea, also means a road or droveway
or driftway, by which a person drives cattle to a pasture.

Chief, to hold in (lo, 20, go, and elsewhere), was to hold lands

directly from the crown as the immediate tenant. Such tenure might either
be by knight service or in socage.

Compes {75). A fetter.

Coningeria (84). A rabbit warren.

Coopertorium (79). Reeds. Literally a covering, and so reeds,

which form a covering or thatch.

Corn in autumn (211). The claim of foresters to gather corn,
&c., is limited by c. 7 of the Charter of the Forest, 9 Hen. III., which provides
that " No Forester or Bedel from henceforth shall make Scotale, or gather
Garb, or Oats, or any Corn, Lamb, or Pig, or shall make any Gathering but
by the sight and upon the view of the twelve Rangers, when they shall make
their Range."

Cotagium (197). The tenure of a cottar. •

Cottar, cottarius, coterius, coterellus. A holder of a croft or small
plot of land with his cottage or homestead. See "Villein." Sometimes the
cottar paid a money rent, as in Inquisitions xx., xlv., cxxx., and cxxxvi.,

GLOSSARY AND NOTES. 291

and sometimes he did works in addition to payment of rent, as in Inquisition
cxxxi. See also pp. 36, 67, 121, and 138. In the Cushimals of Battle Abbey
there appears to have been a distinction between the cottarius and the coterellus
(Introduction, p. viii.), which cannot be discovered in these inquisitions. See
also Kennett, Glossary, s.v. coterellus.

Cougeld (p. 223). See posi., " Kingelde."

County court (118). The chief court of the county, having both

civil and criminal jurisdiction, and presided over by the sheriff or his deputy.
It dated back to Anglo-Saxon times, and in addition to its ordinary jurisdiction,
it transacted various kinds of private business, conducted inquiries directed
by the king's writ, raised money for the king's use, transacted the military
business of the county, provided for the conservation of the peace, &c., &c.
See Stubbs, Const. Hist., s.v. " County court," " Shire moot."

Court, curia, in these inquisitions generally means the court of
the lord of a manor or honour, or else a wapentake or hundred court.

Crossbowman, Service of a, was a species of grand serjeanty.

Fo. 15T. 2 Ed. II. Ricus le Alblaster held premises in North Geuehale and Est Geuen-
dale in chief by the service of finding the sixth part of one Crossbowman in the Castle of York,
at his own expense, for 40 days if there be war in the county.

Fo. 134. 2 Ed. III., No. 30. Robtus Alblaster de North Geueldale held lands in North
Geuendale and Est Geuendale. Radus le Alablaster estjilius.

Fo. 139. Escheats, 18 Ed. III., No. 3. William, son of Robert de North Geuendale, held
lands in North Geuendale of the king in chief by fealty and service, rendering to the king|s
exchequer, by the hands of the Sheriff, zs. 6d. at Easter and Michaelmas. And John is his
son and heir.

Fo. 1403. Escheats, 20 Ed. III., No. 6. Johes 1' Archer held lands in Yapum of theking
in chief by the service of the 7th part of a certain serjeanty, which serjeanty is held entire of
the king m chief by finding one man with bow and arrows in the Castle of York, at his own
expense, for 40 days if war shall be in the county, by homage. And John is his son and heir.

Then follows a note in small and difficult handwriting :

^^ iste yo: Jil', oh, (seisitusfj de (^re-missisV 24 E. III."

Fo. 144. 23 Ed. III., No. 151. Radus Alblaster held of the king in chief as of his crown
(ut de coron&J, by homage and service of the sixth part of a certain serjeanty, certain tenements '
in North Geuendale and Est Geuenda (sic).

Fo. 154. Escheats, 51 Ed. III., No. 13. Agnes de Geuendale held of the king in chief
certain tenements in Est and North Geuendale by finding, with her companions (cutn sociis
suis), an archer in a certain tower within the Castle of York, for the safe custody of the Castle,
for 40 days in time of war.

Culture, cultura (52, and elsewhere). A piece of cultivated ground

of no determined but of moderate size.

Curtilage (57, and elsewhere). A garden, yard, field, or piece of

void ground, lying near and belonging to the messuage. Termes de la Ley.

Demesne, to hold lands in (2, 12, 15, 21, 30, gi, 242, and else-
where), was to hold the same as the demesne lands of the manor. To be
seized in demesne, was said of one who held lands for the term of his life.
But he who held the same to him and his heirs, or to him and his successors
was said to hold in his demesne as of fee. Demesnes were in common speech
the lord's chief manor place, and the lands belonging to it which he kept in
his own hands. The king's ancient demesnes are the lands and manors which
were in William the Conqueror's hands, and in Domesday book stated to have
been in the possession of Edward the Confessor. See Elphinstone, Inter-
pretation of Deeds, and the authorities there cited.

Denarata, denariata. A pennyworth. See the example in Inqui-
sition VI. of Appendix I. Denariata term is said to have been a measure of
land containing a square perch. Elphinstone, s.v. " Measures of land."

GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

Deraynatus (125), proved. There are many forms of this word.

See Du Cange, s.v. derationare.

Dieta (250). The space of a day, a day's work, a day's wage.
Du Cange.

Dower (32, 181, and elsewhere), "by the law of the realm, is a
portion which a widow hath of the lands of her husband, which by the com-
mon law is the third part ; but by her husband's assignment, by his father's
assent, at the church door, she may have so much of his father's land as is so
assigned, and so of the husband's assignment of part of his own land. And
dower, by the custom of some places, is to have half the husband's land."
Vermes de la Ley. See also Lyttleton, Tenures, book i., c. 5.

Dower, assignment of (io6, i8o, 184). See " Dower."

Dower at the church door (181). See " Dower."

Drengage, drengagium (100, 131, 142, 267). A servile tenure,

differing from and superior to tenure in villenage in that it was not at the will
of the lord, but fixed and permanent. The services incident to this tenure
were, however, very Similar to the services due from a villein. There are
many examples of tenure in drengage in the Boldon Buke, and the conclusions
at which the learned editor of that volume, the Rev. Wm. Greenwell, arrives
with regard to the nature of the tenure are to some extent confirmed by the
instances appearing in this volume. It does not, however, seem quite clear
that the dreng was personally free from servile work, as stated by Mr. Green-
well. The examples given in these inquisitions and in the Boldon Buke, seem
to dispose of Spelman's statement (Glossary, s.v., drenches, drengus, drenga-
gium), that the drenches were tenants by military service, and that they or
their ancestors had held their lands before the Norman Conquest.

Dreng or drengh, drengus (100). One who held his land by

drengage tenure.

Duwa or duva (i). The bank of a ditch. See Du Cange, s.v.

duva, douva, doga; French, douve.

Eisnecia, eynescie, or esnecy (133 n, 277), is defined by Jacob

(Law Dictionary ) as a private prerogative allowed to the eldest coparcener
where an estate is descended to coparceners, i.e., coheiresses, to choose first
after the inheritance is divided, fus eisnecia is jus primogenitum ; in which
sense it may be extended to the eldest son and his issu^. In the Statute of
Marlbridge, cap. g., it is called Enitia pars hareditatis. In p. 133 «, eynescie
appears to be used as an adjective, and to signify elder.

Enfeoff, feoffare (26). To convey hereditaments to one in fee

simple, fee tail, or for life, with livery of seisin and possession, without which
nothing passed. Delivery of seisin and possession was the essential part of
the transaction, a writing not being required until the passing of the Statute
of Frauds (29 Car. II., c. 3).

Englesher', Englishry (50). The fact of being an EngHshman.

Chiefly in legal phrase, presentment of Englishry ; the offering of proof that
a slain person was an Englishman, in order to escape the fine levied (under
the Norman kings) upon the hundred or township, for the murder of a
" Frenchman " or Norman. The fine of Englishry would usually be paid to
the Crown, but the Lacies claimed to have a liberty within the Honour of
Pontefract or the Wapentake of Osgoldcross (Inquisition Lxiii., p. log), and
probably claimed the right to receive all such fines. Mr. W. P. Baildon gives
the following note on the subject: "Thomas Deyville, keeper of the Castle
and Honour of Pontefract and of other lands and tenements which were of
Thomas, late Earl of Lancaster, and other enemies and rebels in the county
of York," in his account for the i8th year of Edw. II. (1324-5), states that

GLOSSARY AND NOTES. 293

there is a decay of 13s. ^d. of a certain rent called Englescherie in Wridlesford,
because the tenements out of which the said rent was paid came to the hands
of Henry, late Earl of Lincoln, and lord of the said Castle and Honour, and
were in the hands of the said Earl of Lancaster, after the death of the said
Earl of Lincoln, until the time of the Earl of Lancaster's forfeiture, and now
they are in the king's hand, on account of that forfeiture, for default of tenants.
Exchequer, L. T. R. Memoranda, i8 Edw. IL Common Roll, Trinity, m. 5.

Escape (223, 226) was of two kinds, voluntary and negligent, and

was where one that was arrested came to his liberty before delivery by award
of any justice or order of law. The person responsible for the escape was
liable to be amerced. See Vermes de la Ley. There was also an escape of
beasts ; and any man whose cattle were found within the forbidden limits of a
forest was subject to punishment, unless he was quietus de escapio by charter.

Escheat, escaeta, escaetta, escaetum (6, 23, 24, 220, 230, and else-
where). An escheat was the determination of a tenure from the extinction of
the blood of the tenant, either by his dying without heirs, or attainder for
treason or felony. In such cases the land escheated or fell back to the lord of
the fee. P. S., vol. iii., Glossary.

Escheator, eschaetor, escaetor (27, 152, 153, and elsewhere). The

escheator was that officer who was accountable for the escheats due to the
king in the county wherein he held office. After the deaths of any of the
king's tenants, who held by knight service or otherwise, he held an inquisition,
which he certified into the Exchequer. In the reign of Henry III. England
was divided into two Escheatries, Citra Trentam and Ultra Trentam. P. S.,
vol. iii.. Glossary.

Espervarius (or spervarius) sorus (180, 251). A sparrow-hawk

in his first or golden plumage, a bird of the first year, not moulted. Du Cange,
s.v. saurus ; Bracton, vol. v., p. 83. The term "sorus" was also applied to
men, e.g., the father of St. Bernard was called sorus, i.e., reddish, yellow-
haired. See Morison's Life of St. Bernard, p. 2, and note.

Esplees, explecia, explectamenta (183, 211). The full profits which
the land yields, as the hay of the meadow, the feed of the pasture, the corn of
the arable, the rents, services, and such like issues. Sometimes it signifies the
farm or lands themselves.

Estovers, common of (211), was the tenant's right to take wood
necessary for the use of his farm or house from his lord's estate. These
estovers were known as house-bote, cart-bote, fire-bote, plough-bote, and hay
or hedge-bote, according to the purposes for which they were required.

Estrica, strica, or strike^ (245-8-9), S. strike or bushel. In the
Domesday of St. Paul's, pp. Ixxi. 17, the strike is considered to equal two
bushels, but the examples on pages 248-g of this volume, show clearly that a
strike of one bushel is meant.

Extent (xv., xix., lxxv., lxxvi., lxxxi., and others). The survey

and valuation of an estate made upon inquisition or the oath of a jury. The
Statute Extenta Manerii, which is generally assumed to be dated 4 Edw. I.,
Stat. I, gives elaborate instructions for making an extent. The extent or
survey of a manor contained an account of the whole condition of the estate,
the buildings belonging to it, the fields and stock on the domain, the pasturage,
the amount of wood, and the profits of the waste, the mills, fisheries, and so
forth. It also enumerated the free tenants, and stated the terms of their
tenure ; the villeins and cottars, and their services ; as well as the patronage
and other incidental rights belonging to the manor. See Cunningham, p. 218.

Extend (150, 181). To survey and value a manor, lands, or tene-
ments.

294 GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

Eyre, Justices in, jfusticiarii itinerantes (30). The Justices of

the Forest were so called, concerning whom see " Eyre of the Forest." The
term was also applied to the justices sent with commissions into counties, to
hear pleas of the Crown, cases concerning Jews, and certain civil pleas. They
were so called to distinguish them from the yusticiarii residentes, i.e., the
justices residing at Westminster, or Justices of the Bench, and were eventually
supplanted by the Justices of Assize. These Justices in Eyre were originally
not justices of any superior court, but were of an inferior order of judges.
Coke, Litt., 293 b ; Reeve, English Law, I., Ixxxi. »., and chapters 2 and 4.

Eyre of the Forest (112). The Court of the Justice Seat, held

before the Chief Justice of the Forest and his fellows, called Justicesin Eyre,
who had authority to hear and determine concerning vert and venison, and
other pleas of the forest. There were two Chief Justices, one for the forest
on this side Trent, the other beyond. See Coke, iv. Inst., c. 73, on Forest
Courts ; also Manwood.

Faldage (241). The right of the lord of a manor, or other person,

to have all the sheep within his manor, or within a town or other district,
folded at night on his land for the purpose of manuring it. Elphinstone, s.v.
" Frankfoldage," and the authorities there cited. See also Domesday of St.
Paul's, Ixxxiv.

Farm, firma (37, 55, 71, and elsewhere). Derived from an Anglo-
Saxon word signifying provisions. It came to be used for rent because
anciently the greater part of the rents were reserved in provisions until the use
of money became more general. Ultimately the word farm came to signify
the estate or land held at a rent or farm. As to the farm system, see Vinogra-
doff, p. 301, et seq.

Farm, free^ libera firma. Lands or tenements changed by feoff-
ment from knight service to a fixed annual rent, and free from homage,
wardship, relief, and marriage, and all other services not reserved by the feoff-
ment.

Farm, great and little The distinction between these two kinds of

farm is not clear. (See pp. 52, 53). The rent paid by a villein at great farm
was more per bovate than the rent paid by a villein at little farm, but the rents
were not always the same, e.g., the rent of a villein at great farm varied from
6s. to 8s. per bovate, without any boonworks, and the rent of a villein at little
farm was generally 3s. 3jd. per bovate; but one tenant paid 2s. SJd. per
bovate, another paid 3s. 41!. for three parts of a bovate, and two others paid
IS. iif(i. for three parts of a bovate, and all but those last-mentioned did
boonworks.v

Faucibus (67) ior falcibus. Abl. plur. of falx, a hook, bill, scythe,
or sickle.

Fealty (119), fidelitas, signifies an oath taken at the admittance of

every tenant {except tenants in frankalmoigne and tenants at will) , to be true
to the lord of whom he holds his land, and is due upon every change of the
lord. For forms of the oath, both of a freeholder and of a villein, see
Blount's Law Dictionary, s.v. "fealty." See also Lyttleton's Tenures, book ii.,
t. 2. See also the Statute called Modus faciendi homagium et Jidelitatem,
17 Edw. II., Statute 2.

Fence Month (29). So called because it was the fawning month,
when the does and fawns had protection. It commenced fifteen days before
Midsummer and ended fifteen days after Midsummer. The Charter of the
Forest, c. 8, provides that the third Court of Swannimote should be held and
kept fifteen days before Midsummer, and that at that time all the foresters,
verderers, and agisters should meet together to make provision for the quiet
and safety of the wild beasts during the time of their fawning.

GLOSSARY AND NOTES. 295

Feodum (or feudum) Loricae. The same as hauberk fee or

knight's fee. See " Knight service." Spelman, however, says (Glossary, s.v,
feudum loricatum, loricati, armiger) that the vi'ords sorhetimes mean the fee
held by a squire. [N.B. The inquisition containing this phrase will appear in
Vol. II.] '

Feoffment (226) is where a man conveys hereditaments to one in

fee simple, fee tail, or for life, with livery of seisin and possession. In order
to preserve evidence of the transaction it was usual that a charter or deed of
feoffment should be executed, but writing was not essential until the passing
of the Statute of Frauds.

Ferthepenye (50). This so called custom in Pontefract is probably

equivalent to Frithpenny, i.e., the penny paid to the lords of some manors by
each freeman within the manor, who appeared at the view of Frankpledge.
See Domesday of St. Paul's, cv. — cvii., and note. It has also been suggested
that the custom may have some connection with the ferthefields, frithfields,
or common fields of a manor. The word frith also means a hedge, a coppice,
young underwood. See Halliwell's Dictionary . See also page 28 of these
Inquisitions, for an instance of a payment by the men of the king's demesne
of Pickering, of one half-penny per bovate every year to the foresters, when
the latter made livery to them on making their hedges.

Feugera (78). Fern, bracken.

Fine. A payment made bj a copyhold tenant to his lord, on admit-
tance to his land ; a payment made to procure some privilege, benefit, or
immunity. See Madox, Hist. Exch:, chapters ii, 12, and 13. A fine is also
a fixed pecuniary penalty under some Statute., See Boldon Buke, s.v. finis,
for a good definition of fines.

Fine of Wapentake (32, 238), appears to have been a payment in

commutation of services at the wapentake or hundred court. The services
done by tenants of a manor at these courts were called forinsec or foreign,
because they were done outside the manor, and in course of time they were
frequently commuted for a money payment. There was also a payment called
hundred penny, in discharge of tallage for the hundred, which may have been
akin to this fine. See Du Gauge, s.v. hundredum, hundredes-penny ; also
Kennett, Glossary, s.v. hundredus.

Foreign Wood of the lord. See ante, "Boscus forinsecus."
Forest (28, 29, 31, 32, iii, 114, 144, 145, 211, 215, 225, 267). "A

forest is a certain territory of wooddy grounds and fruitful pastures privileged for
wild beasts and fowls of forest, chase, and warren to rest and abide in, in the
safe protection of the king for his princely delight and pleasure ; which territory
of ground, so privileged, is meered and bounded with unremoveable marks,
meeres, and boundaries, either known by matter of record or else by prescrip-
tion ; and also replenished with wild beasts of venerie or chase, and with great
coverts of vert for the succour of the said wild beasts to have their abode in.
For the preservation and continuance of which said place, together with the
vert and venison, there are certain particular laws, privileges, and officers

belonging to the same, meet for that purpose The wild beasts of the

forest are five, and no more, that is to say, the hart, the hind, the hare, the
boar, and the wolf. The beasts of the chase are also five, the buck, the doe,
the fox, the martin, and the roe. The beasts and fowls of warren are the
hare, the coney, the pheasant, and the partridge. All these have privilege
within the forest." Manwood, c. i. " A Forest doth consist of eight things,
viz. : of Soil, Covert, Laws, Courts, Judges, Officers, Game, and Certain
Bounds." Coke, iv. Inst., 289. " The next in degree unto it (a forest) is
a liberty of a frank-chase. A chase in one degree is the selfsame thing that
a park is, and there is no diversity betwSen them, save that a park is enclosed,
and a chase is always open and not enclosed, and therefore the next in degree

296 GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

unto a frank-chase is a park. The last and next in degree unto a park is the

liberty and franchise of a free warren Every forest is a chase, a park,

and a warren, but a chase is not a forest, but a part of it ; and in the like sort
of a park and a warren." Manwood, as above. The owner of a wood
within a forest or chase might not fell timber or cut wood therein, except under
certain restrictions. Coke, iv. Inst., 297-8; Manwood, c. 8. Manwood further
states that although it is a common opinion that a forest may not be held by a
subject, yet there are instances of forests being held by subjects (e.g., the Earl
of Lancaster, temp. Edw. II. and Edw. III.), who executed the forest laws
therein, (c. 3, sees. 2, 3, and 4).

Forester (28, 30, iii, 211, 266). An ofBcer of the forest, sworn
to preserve the vert and venison of the forest, to attend upon the wild beasts
within his bailiwick, to watch and keep them safe by day and by night, to
apprehend all offenders there in vert and venison, and to present them at the
courts of the forest. Termes de la Ley. See also Coke, iv. Inst., 293, for the
oath of a forester, setting out his duty.

Forland (222, 226), forlande (62), forlant (81), forlonde (250). (i)

A plot of land outside the demesne and not included in the common fields of
a manor. See Vinogradoff, p. 332 ; Domesday of St. Paul's, Ixxii., Ixxiv. (2)
The headland at the end of a shot or group of selions or strips of land of a
common field. Kennett, Glossary, s.v. forera. Seebohm, English Village
Community, pp. 4, 20, 108.

Forum (50). A {air, equals nundincs,ferice. Du Cange.

Fossatum,/os5 (i, 38, 39, 40). A ditch, trench, or moat; also the
earthen rampart or bank thrown up round a castle, fortified camp, or other
stronghold ; also the stronghold itself.

Frankalmoign. See " Almoigne."

Frank chase. See " Chase."

Frank marriage, liberum maritagium (3, 86). A peculiar species

of estate tail. " Where tenements are given by one man to another, with a
wife (which is daughter or cousin to the giver) in frankmarriage, the which
gift hath an inheritance by these words " frankmarriage " annexed to it,
although it be not expressly said or rehearsed in the gift, the donees shall
have the tenements to them and to their heirs between them two begotten.
And this is called especial tail, because the issue of the second wife may not
inherit." Coke, Litt., book i., c. 2, sec. 17 ; Lyttleton, Tenures, p. 26.

Free warren. See "Warren."

Frischa. Uncultivated land fit for pasturing animals. See
Du Cange, who gives many forms of the word.

Friscus and frischus, a, urn (218, 257). Uncultivated.

Furnage, furnagium, fornagium (French, fournage). The toll
paid by a lord's tenants for the privilege of using the common bakehouse or
oven.

Furnus, fornax (55, 76, 136, 225, 238). A public bakehouse or
oven, at which the lord's tenants were compelled to bake their bread, &c.,
paying for the privilege a toll called furnage.

Gabelage, Latin, gabulagium (22, 164). A rent, duty, custom, or
service, yielded or done to the king or some other lord. See Du Cange, s.v.
gablum; also Coke, Litt., book ii., c. 12, sec. 213. There is a payment of
langable or landgable mentioned in the Domesday of St. Paul's (pp. Ixix. and
6), which appears to be akin to gabelage. In Spelman's Glossary, it is said to
be a payment of id. for each house, but in the Domesday of St. Paul's it was

GLOSSARY AND NOTES. 297

a payment of sums varying from 2jd. to i^d. for each virgate. According to
Abraham de la Pryme (Diary, Surt., p. 125^, the custom of paying gabelage
or gavelage at Scarborough gave rise to the proverb of " Scarborough Warn-
ing." The following is his note on the subject :

*_' 'Scarburg Warning' is a proverb in many places of the north, signifying any sudden
warning given upon any account This is the true origin

" The town is a corporation town, and tho' it is very poor now to what it was formerly, yet

it has a who is commonly some poor man, they haveing no rich ones amongst them.

About two days before Michilmas day the sayd being arrayed in gown of state, he

mounts upon horseback, and has his attendants with him, and the macebearer carrying the mace
before him, with two fidlers and a base viol.

" Thus marching in state (as big as the lord mare of London), all along the shore side, they
make many halts, and the cryer cries thus with a strange sort of a singing voyce, high and low,
" Whay ! whay ! whay !
Pay your gavelage, ha !
^ Between this and Michaelmas day,

Or you'll be fined, I say !

" Then the fiddlers begins to dance, and caper, and plays fit to make one burst with laughter
that sees and hears them. Then they go on again, and crys as before, with the greatest majesty
and gravity immaginable, none of this comical crew being seen as much as to smile all the time,
when as spectators are almost bursten with laughing.

" This is the true origin of the proverb, for this custom of gavelage is a certain tribute that

every house pays to the when he is pleased to call for it, and he gives not above one

day warning, and may call for it when he pleases. "

Gaynagium (124), gaynage. The gain or profit of tilled or planted
ground. Also a payment made in the produce of the land. Cowell's Inter-
preter; also Du Cange, s.v. gaagneria.

Geldable (no). Taxable, liable to pay tax or tribute.

Gersumes, geresume, gersame (241, 245, 251). Any kind of pay-
ment in the way of purchase, or reward, or for damages ; the fine or premium
paid on the grant of a ],ease, a fine, or amerciament. The word is also used
for merchet, e.g., G ersumam pro Jilid sud maritandd. See Vinogradoff, p. 147,,,
also pp. 441 — 4.

Gresman (42, 43, 75, 223, 226). A species of villein, classed with

cottars in Inquisition xn. One who pays gersom to his lord. See Vinogra-
doff, p. 147.

Grundpeny (240), from the example given, was evidently a rent

paid for the use and occupation of land.

Gule of August, gula Augusti (79). The first day of August,
Lammas day, the festival of St. Peter ad Vincula.

Hall and Court (14). The lord's court was originally held in his
hall, and so was called hallmote or halimote, as well as court baron. The
receipts from hall and court would be the fines and amercements imposed at
the court.

Harz (28). The meaning of this word is doubtful, it may possibly

be the plural of hart, a handle. See the word in Halliwell's Dictionary.

Haubergeon, habergeon, or hauberk. A coat of mail. The service

of serjeanty of one haubergeon (23), w4s probably equivalent to the service of
one knight.

Haubercke fee (121). Same as knight's fee. See " Knight service."

The hauberk or coat of mail formed part of the distinctive armour of a knight.

Hay, haia, haya, haga (28, iii, 112, 141, 215). A hedge, also a park
or enclosure.

Haybote, heybote (18, 28, 238). The liberty of cutting wood for

making and maintaining hedges and fences.

Herbage, herbagium (23, 31, 58, 222, 225), signifies the pasture or
fruit of the earth provided by nature for the food of cattle, as distinguished

38

298 GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

from deer and other wild animals. It is also commonly used for a liberty that
a man hath to feed his cattle in another man's ground, as in a forest. The
meaning of the word was much discussed in the case of Earl de la Warr v.
Miles, 17 Ch. D. 535. See also Elphinstone, Interpretation of Deeds, and the
references there given.

Herciatura (249), harrowing.

Hercia (74), a harrow.

Heriot. The military equipment of a vassal which on his death

reverted to his lord. Ultimately it extended to the best chattel of => vassal
which was given at his death to his lord. Eventually it was compounded for
a money payment, and is now applied to the payment made by a copyholder
to the lord of a manor on admission to the copyholds of a deceased copyholder.
The difference beween a heriot and a relief is, that a heriot was for the tenant
who died, and was out of his goods ; a relief was for the tenant who succeeded,
and was out of his purse.

Hide. See ante, " Carucate." An Anglo-Saxon measure of land

of uncertain extent, ultimately considered to be equivalent to a carucate or
ploughland. See Kemble's Saxons in England, vol. i., Appendix B ; Eyton's
Dorset Domesday, pp. 3 — 24; and Ellis's Introduction to Domesday.

Hiritini. See p. 46 and note a. The suggestions there given are

all very doubtful. The word seems more likely to be akin to hericia, which
Du Cange renders as " Septum quod portis urbium objicitur, seu quodvis
repagulum quo locus aliquis occluditur ac munitur." And he gives the
following example from the Reg. feudor, Norman, ex Cod. reg. 4653. A. fol. 157,

viz.; "Homines sui debent reparare unam perticatam de fossatis et

facere Hericiam supra illam perticatam cum reparata fuerit." The proper
translation of hericiam in this instance seems to be a barricade or palisade.

Homage, homagium (26, 175, 186, 202, 213). The solemn act by

which a tenant acknowledged his lord as him of whom he held his land, and to
whom he was bound to render service. It was rendered but once by a tenant
on coming to his land, and was due from a freehold tenant only. Lyttleton
(Tenures, bk. ii., c. i) says: "Homage is the most honourable service and
most humble service of reverence that a frank tenant may do to his lord ; for
when the tenant shall make homage to his lord, he shall be ungirt and his
head uncovered, and his lord shall sit, and the tenant shall kneel before him on
both his knees, and hold his hands stretched forth joined together between the
hands of his lord, and shall say thus : I become your man from this day
forward for life, for member and for earthly honour, and unto you shall be
true and faithful, and bear to you faith for the tenements that I claim to hold
of you, savins the faith that I owe unto our sovereign lord the king : and then
the lord so sitting shall kiss him." A religious man however, in doing homage
is not to say " I become your man, for that he hath professed himself to be
only the man of God." There is also a variation in the homage to be done
by a woman. See also Modus faciendi homagium et fidelHatem, 17 Edw. II.,
Stat. z. The service of homage was discharged by the Stat. 12 Car. II., c. 24.

Hostium (72). A door.

Husbote, housbote (i8, 29, 238). The liberty of cutting wood for
building and repair of houses ; possibly also for firing, but this is generally
called firebote. See page 238, where it is stated that " the lady of Hemeling-
ton has twenty waggon loads of wood, both for plough-timber and for the
hearth, and beyond this, housbote and heybote." In this example, wood for
the hearth, i.e., firebote, is distinct from housebote.

Inquisition is generally understood to mean an inquiry held by the

king's sheriff, escheator, steward, or other officer, with or without a jury,
under the authority of some statute, commission, writ, or precept of the crown.

GLOSSARY AND NOTES. 299

for the purpose of watching and protecting the king's interests. The majority
of the inquisitions in this volume are Inquisitions Post Mortem, i.e., inquisitions
held on the death of any man of fortune, to inquire into the value of his estate,
the tenure by which it was held, and who and of what age his heir was; so as
to ascertain the profits due to the king in the way of wardship, relief, &c.
There were also many inquisitions under the Statute called Extenta Manerii.
See the word " Extent " in this Glossary, also " Escheator," and the several
kinds of Writ. There was also a mode of procedure by inquisition in the
prosecution of offenders against ecclesiastical law, as to which, see Reeve,
Eng. Law, vol. iii., p. 65.

Instauramentum, also called Restaur amentum and Implementum.
Manerii (127). The stock of a farm, both live and dead, and ploughings and
sowings. In the Glossary to the Boldon Buke, it is suggested that serfs
attached to demesne land were included in the instauramentum. Store cattle
were cattle let with a farm.

Jewry, Chirographer's chest of, also called archa jndceorum or

chirographorum (159). A chest kept in London and other towns, for the
deposit of one part of each contract or chirograph (known as the pes chiro-
graphi), entered into by a Jew with a Christian, and if this counterpart was
not found there, when required, the contract was void. These chests were kept
with great care and were only opened in the presence of the sheriif, chiro-
graphers, and cofferers, or in London, of the Barons of the Exchequer, or
other qualified officers. The chirographers were the clerks (commonly
Christians and Jews acting together) who wrote the chirographs, and the
cofferers were the keepers of the chests. The Jews inhabiting a quarter of a
city or town were styled a " communa " or commonalty (Pike's Hist, of Crime,
vol. i., p. 463). For a mention of the commonalty of the Jews of York, see
Select Pleas of the Crown (Seld.) vol. i., p. 57. Madox (Hist, of Exch.,c. 7,
Of the Exchequer of the Jews), gives a concise account of the position of the
Jews in England from the reign of Hen. II. to the year 1290, when they were
expelled from the country. He also gives many illustrations from the Public
Records. See also an article by the late Robert Davies, F.S.A., on The
Mediaeval fews of York, in vol. iii. of the Y.A.A., J., and in the same volume
an article by the Rev. J. T. Fowler, F.S.A., On Certain " Starrs" or Jewish
Documents.

Jewry, Statute of, Statutum de jfudaismo (155), is of uncertain

date, but stated by Stubbs (Const. Hist., vol. ii., p. 578 n.) to belong probably
to the year 1275. This opinion is to some extent confirmed by the two inqui-
sitions given in this volume, the writs for which are dated respectively 24th and
27th May, 1275 (see pp. 154, 159, and 282 ante), and which refer to the Statute.
The Statute would therefore probably be passed by the Parliament which
passed the Statute of Westminster the First, and which was held at West-
minster on the morrow of the Octave of Easter, i.e., 23rd April. Ruffhead
gives the date 25th April. The Statute of Jewry made provision for enforcing
securities given to Jews. It also enacted that Jews might reside in the king's
cities and boroughs where the chirographer's chests of Jewry were kept, and
that each Jew should make an annual payment by way of tallage to the king,
"whose serf he is," that Jews might live loyally by their merchandise and
labour, and that they might have intercourse with Christians in buying and
selling; also that they might buy houses and rent lands under certain restric-
tions. Judaism, or Jewry, was at one time synonymous with mortgage.
There are instances of this in the Selby Coucher Book (Y.A.A., R., vol. x.).
The petition of the barons at the Parliament of Oxford, seeks a remedy against
the conduct of the Jews in delivering their debts and the lands pledged to them
to the magnates of the realm, who use them for purposes of oppression.
Stubbs, Select Charters, p. 385-6. For Jewry Debtors, see pp. log, 154, 159,
282, of these inquisitions.

300 GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

Jews, Justices assigned for the custody of (159, 205 n,

282), were persons assigned to be curators of the revenue of the Jews. In
more ancient times they were commonly Christians and Jews appointed to act
together, afterwards they were, for the most part, Christians only. They
were usually put into their office by the King by letters of the Great Seal, but
sometimes the treasurer and barons have appointed a justice of the Jews and
other clerks of the Judaism by the king's direction. These justices of the
Jews exercised jurisdiction in the affairs of Judaism, viz. : in the accounts of
that revenue, in pleas upon contracts made with the Jews, in causes or
questions touching their lands or chattels, their tallages, fines, forfeitures, &c.
They were looked upon as members or officers of the Great Exchequer, and
entitled to the privileges belonging to persons resideiit there. Madox, Hist.
Exch., pp. 159, 160.

Justice of the Forest (28, 29, 30, iii, 162). See "Eyre of the

Forest."
Justiciar of England (72). The chief minister of the Norman

kings. Stubbs, CoMsi. ff»si., vol. i., p. 392 ; Select Charters, p. 16. The chief
administrator of the law, chief representative of the king in absence, and,
while his office lasted, the most powerful subject in the realm. Freeman,
Norman Conquest, vol. v., p. 432. The title ceased in 52 Hen. III. Reeves,
Eng. Law, vol. i., p. 533. The yusticiar presided in the King's Court (Curia
Regis) and in the Exchequer. See Dugdale's Origines yuridiciales, pp. 20,
38 ; and Madox, Hist. Exch., u. z.

Kernellus (72), a battlement.

Kingelde. From a custom so called, in Bowes, 6s. \d. This word

occurs in the Inquisition post mortem of John de Britany, Earl of Richmond,
13 Edw. I., which has been postponed to the next volume of Inquisitions for
want of space. It is suggested that " Kingelde" is the same as " Cougeld,"
which occurs on page 223 ante, and that both "Kingelde" and "Cougeld"
are corrupt readings of " Congild," as " Schirnegeld" on p. 223 ante may be
of " Scyragild," both words meaning a society or gild. See " Gildscyra " and
" Congildones " s.v. " Gilda " in Du Cange. See also Spelman, Glossary, s.v.
" Geldum ;" and Thorpe's Ancient Laws and Institutes of England. Du Cange
says "Kihgeld" was a kind of tribute which might be paid to a king, and if
this statement be correct the word would appear to be akin to Xenia, which is
defined by Spelman (Glossary ) as the gifts which were offered by the inhabitants
of a province to their governors, or to kings and royal personages, and other
dignified individuals, when passing through a district. See Notes and
Queries, 8th series, vol. i., p. i6g.

Knight's fee. See " Knight service." The following instances of

the varying areas of a knight's fee occur in these inquisitions, viz. : —

Laund (205). A plain or open place in a wood, an unploughed

plain, a lawn.

Leirwite, legerwyte, legewit, letherwit, lechewit (xli., xlv., cvii.).
A fine or payment to which tenants in villenage, and sometimes sokemen, were
subject for the incontinence of their daughters and other female relatives. See
" Merchet." It was also a fine on violation. See Seld., vol. ii., p. 12.

Librata terrae (192, 195-6, 254 «). A librate of land. The examples

on pp. 195-6 show that in those cases a librate of land meant land worth ^i a
year. A librate was also a measure of land containing 240 acres. See Elphin-
stone, s.v. " Measures of Land " ; also Du Cange, s.v. Libra term.

GLOSSARY AND NOTES. 301

Mairemium, ymremium. (244). Wood of any kind available for

building. See Boldon Buke ; also Du Cange, s.v. Materia.

Manor. Latin, manerium. French, manoir. Formerly meant an

extent of land granted to some person, for him and his heirs to dwell upon
and enjoy, and which was divided into three parts, viz. : (i) The demesne lands,
which were reserved for the lord's own use, and cultivated to a certain extent
by his own teams and servants, and to some extent by the tenants of the
manor who held by praedial services, i.e., by the service of agricultural labour ;
(2) The assised or tenemental lands, or land's granted or let out by the lord to
tenants in consideration of rents or services, or both, and varying in tenure
from the freehold of a free tenant to the uncertain tenancies of the various
classes of servile tenants, which uncertain tenancies, however, eventually
developed into a tenure which, under the name of copyhold, is now practically
fixed and certain ; (3) The waste lands, which also belonged to the lord, but
subject to the common rights of the tenants.

Both the free and the servile tenants were of various degrees. The free
tenants included lords of inferior manors held of a superior manor or honour,
tenants by knight service, and other classes of free tenants, all of whom were
liable for some rent or service to the lord of the manor under whom they held.
The servile tenants were also of many classes, and were not the same in every
manor. Those mentioned in this volume of Inquisitions are villeins, drenghs,
gresmen, cottars, natives, and serfs. Another class of tenants was the soke-
men, who were sometimes free and sometimes villein.

Every lord of a manor exercised a jurisdiction over his tenants in the
court of the manor, called the court baron ; and in some manors was also held
a court leet, which had jurisdiction over crimes com.mitted within the manor ;
the court baron dealing with civil business, especially with matters relating to
the freehold. In later times arose the customary court, which dealt with the
interests of the copyholders of the manor, and is now frequently called a
court baron. Owing to the gradual changes in the position of the tenants of
manors, and to the greater security and fixity of their tenures, also to the sales
of demesne lands and other possessions of the lords within the districts of
their manors, the term manor is now more generally understood to mean the
jurisdiction and privileges belonging to and exercised by the lord, than the land
comprised within the district of the manor. The term had, and still has, a very
comprehensive and varied meaning. In some instances it was synonymous
with honour or hundred, and in one instance, at least (viz. ; the Manor of
Taunton Dene), a manor comprised five hundreds; other manors comprised
large districts and several towns, while in other cases there were three or four
manors in one township. The term manor was also sometimes applied to
a messuage or mansion house only. See further on this subject, Seld., vols.
ii. and iv. ; Vinogradoff's Villainage in England; the Custumals of Battle
Abbey ; the Domesday of St. Paul's; Cruise on Dignities, c. 2 ; Digby's Real
Property, c. i ; Scrutton's Commons and Common Fields ; and many other of
the authorities named at the head of this Glossary.

Manucaptor, mainpernor. One who takes a man into friendly
custody, who otherwise is or might be committed to prison, upon security given
for his forthcoming at a day assigned. (Blount's Law Diet.). When a debtor
had to find sureties for the payment of his debt to the king, such sureties were
termed plegii, obsides, or manucaptores.

Marcata terrse (254), a marc's worth of land per annum. It was

also a measure of land containing i6o perches or one acre. See Elphinstone,
s.v. " Measures of land," also Du Cange, s.v. " Marca."

Mensura de'granar' (127). Frohahly mensura de granario, i.e.,

granary measure, or corn measure. See a note on " Measures '' in the
Domesday of St. Paul's, cxxviii.

302 GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

freeman, on the marriage of his daughter, granddaughter, or sister, and in
some cases of his son, outside the boundary of the lord's dominion. In some
manors however, merchet was payable on marriages within the manor. The
case given in the Year Books, 15 Edw. III., p. 33, shows that merchet was
sometimes akin to leirwite (which see). For the many theories as to this
payment, and as to the derivation of the word merchet, see Mr. Pilce's
Introduction to the above mentioned volume of the Year Books. The
inquisition post mortem of Letitia de Kaynes (p. 186, ante), shows that
sokemen, or at any rate their daughters, were liable to pay both merchet and
legerwyte, or leirwite. Many instances occur in the Inquisitions of the
liability of villeins to these payments. From the Extent of Lands of Peter of
Savoy, we gather (pp. 231-6, ante), that in certain parts of the Honour of
Richmond, the payment or fine on a marriage, varied according to the value
of the lands affected by such marriage.

Mill rent (i86). There is nothing to show what was the reason or

consideration for this custom. In the Domesday of St. Paul's, cxxx., is a
note on multura molendini and telonium molendini, which may be referred to.

Mortmain (220). Dead hand. Lands were said to come into a

"dead hand" when they were held by a Corporation, Guild, or Fraternity,
whose possession was "immortal," as Coke termed it; whereby the services
that were due for the same were wrongfully withdrawn, and the chief lords
lost their escheats. The expression was probably first applied to the holding
of lands by religious bodies, or persons who, being " professed," were reckoned
dead persons in law. It then came to be applied to the holding of lands by
Corporations as opposed to individuals, whether the Corporation were ecclesi-
astical or lay, sole or aggregate. There are numerous Statutes of Mortmain
passed for the purpose of regulating and restraining the alienation of lands in
Mortmain. The first of such Statutes are Magna Charta and the Statute De
Viris Religiosis, 7 Edw. I ; and two very recent and important ones are the
" Mortmain and Charitable Uses" Acts, 1888 and i8gi.

Multura, molta, molitura, muUtura, multure (26). The toll paid

for grinding at the lord's mill ; sometimes the grist or corn taken to be ground.

Mulvellus (156, 275). A mullet. See Spelman and Du Cange,
who both refer to the Empress Maud's grant to the lepers of York.

Namium vetitum (34) An unjust taking the cattle of another,

and driving them to an unlawful place, pretending damage done by them. In
which case the owner of the cattle might demand satisfaction for the injury,
which was called placitum de vetito namio. See post., " Withernam."

Namius, namium, namum (34, 96). A distress, a pledge.

Native (249). See " Bondman," " Villein."

Nisus mutatus (77). A mewed hawk, one which has moulted,
and consequently more valuable than the sore, or unmoulted hawk, nisus sorus.
In the Boldon Buke the value of the moulted sparrow-hawk is put at 5s., and of
the sore sparrow-hawk at is. See the Glossary in that Book, s.v. sparvarius.

Noka (219). A nook of land, the quantity uncertain, in some places
izj acres. Martin, Record Interpreter ; see also Du Cange, s.v. noca, nocata,
nocha, noka.

Nundinse (50). A market or fdir. gee ante, " Forum."

Obolatus (249). A halfpennyworth. See Du Cange, s.v. Oholata
term. This latter term was used for a measure of land, sometimes half an
acre and sometimes half a perch. See Elphinstone, s.v. " Measures of land."

Occasio (127). Disturbance, molestation, hindrance.

Opcuracio (19). A taking in, enclosing.

304 GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

Precarise. Boonworks, i.e., works done for the lord by his tenants

at his request. The boondays for ploughing were in winter and spring, and
those for gathering in the crops were in autumn. Boonworks were due from
both free tenants and servile tenants, and the lord sometimes provided food
and drink, or only one or the other, and sometimes neither. There are manj'
instances of boonworks in these inquisitions. See Nos. Liv., Lvi., xcvii.,
cxxxi. See also p. 51. In the Introduction (p. viii.) to the Custumals of
Battle Abbey the boonworks are distinguished from the daily works or week-
works, the averagia or carrying services, and the occasional works, but the
distinction is not always clear in these inquisitions. See also Domesday of
St. Paul's, Ixvii., and elsewhere; Vinogradoff, p. 174; and Seebohm, p. 78,
and elsewhere.

Pullanus (267). A foal. Martin, Record Interpreter. Possibly also

a puppy. A horse colt. Household Roll of Bishop Swinfield, C.S., p. 151 «,
and Glossary. In the Promptorium Parvulorum "fnillus" is given as the Latin

Purparty (133 »). A part or share of an estate, held jointly by

co-owners, which is by partition allotted to any one of the owners.

Purpresture (i), is anything done to the hurt of the king's forests,

demesnes, or highways, &c., by enclosure or building. When a man takes to
himself, or encroaches upon anything, whether it be in lands, franchises, or
jurisdiction, it is a purpresture. Pnrprestures can be committed against the
king, the lord of a fee, or a neighbour. See Manwood, c. 10 ; Spelman,
Glossary ; Coke, Litt., book ii:., c. 8, s. 475 ; 11. Inst., 272.

Future, putura (211, 212). A custom claimed by foresters, and

sometimes by bailiffs of hundreds, to take food for themselves, their men,
horses, dogs, and hawks, gratis from the tenants and inhabitants within the
perambulation of the forest or hundred.

Quarentele, quarentela (238). The same as " Quarentene," which
see.

Quarentene, quarantine, quarentena (45). A furlong or forty
perches of linear measure. The word also means a space of forty days, and
has other meanings, for which see Du Cange.

Rebinare (254, note b). To plough a second time. Du Cange.

Reeve, prcepositus (26, 27, g8, gg). An officer of a manor who was

elected yearly, in some cases by the free tenants, and in others by the customary
or unfree tenants. His duties varied in different manors, but he seems to have
been, in many instances, a foreman of the labourers, and to have had the care
of the agricultural work, the cattle, buildings, and stock of a manor. Domesday
of St. Paul's, xxxvi. He appears to have been originally a villein tenant, and
to have been overlooked by the lord's bailiff. Fleta, bk. ii., c. 72.

Regarder (30, iii), sometimes called a ranger. An officer of the

forest whose duty it was to go through and view the forest before any Court of
Justice Seat was held, and to see, inquire into, and report on all trespasses of
the forest, all offences concerning vert and venison, and all concealments of any
offences or defaults of the foresters and all other officers of the forest. Coke,
IV. Inst., p. 292, gives a list of twelve special matters which the regarders were
to attend to. The Charter of the Forest prescribes twelve regarders for each
forest.

Relief, relevium (177, 186, 268). The money paid by the incoming

heir, when of full age, to his lord on succeeding to and entering upon his
inheritance. See Bracton, book ii,, c. 36, and Digby's Real Property, pp. 40,
and 78.

Reprises (216). The deductions and charges paid and allowed out
of the yearly value of an estate, such as rent charges, pensions, annuities,
fees of stewards and baihffs, and such like.

Retroduna (164 w). The rear (probably central) mound on which a
tower or keep of a castle is built, or it may be the dcnjon or keep itself. See
Du Cange, s.v. " Dunum," " Dunjo." Duna also is used for the bank of a
ditch or moat, Y.A.A., J., vol. vi., p. 397. It is therefore possible that in this
instance retroduna may mean the rear bank of the moat of the castle of
Scarborough, i.e., the one on the side next the castle. Nets may often be seen
drying on this bank at the present time.

Rent is divided into rent service, rejit charge, and rent seek, also
into rent of assise, white rent, black rent, rent moveable, rent resolute, chief
rent, fee farm rent, and rack rent.

Rent service is where a man holds his land by fealty, or other service, and a
certain rent, or that which a man reserves to be paid to him on granting a
lease to another.

Rent charge is where a man by deed charges his lands or tenements with a sum
of money to be paid to the grantee yearly, with a power of distress.

Rent seek, or dry rent is, where a man granting an estate in lands or tenements
by deed, reserves a rent without power of distress.

Rent of assise (170, 182, 198), is the certain rent of the freeholders and
ancient copyholders, so called because it was assised and certain, and so
assised lands were lands let out to tenants, either on payment of an assised
or fixed rent alone, or of such a rent combined with fixed services.

White rent, alba firma, blanch farm, or redditus albus, so called because paid in
silver to distinguish it from rents paid in kind, or in services.

Black rent, redditus niger, black mail, is rent paid in kind, i.e., in corn, flesh,
&c.

Rent moveable, redditus mobilis. Farm rent for life, years, or at will, which
is variable and uncertain.

Rent resolute, redditus resolutus. Said by Coke (11. Inst., p. ig) to be rents
issuing of a manor to another lord. Blount (Law Diet.) says rents resolute
are such rents or tenths as were anciently payable to the crown from the
lands of abbies and religious houses, and after the dissolution, these abbey
lands being demised to others, the said rents were still reserved and made
payable to the crown.

Chief rent, a modern name for a rent charge, and for a rent of assise payable
out of freeholds.

Fee farm rent is where land is granted in fee for so much rent as it is reason-
ably worth, more or less, so it be one fourth (or as some say, one third) of the
annual value, without homage, fealty, or other service, except what is specially
provided for in the feoffment. Instead of a money rent there might be some
special reservation, such as finding a chaplain to sing divine service, &c.
Blount's Law Diet..

Rack rent is rent of, or approaching, the full value of the premises out of which
it issues.

Salina (140). A salt pit or pan. A tax on salt. Du Cange,

Schirnegeld (223), probably a corruption of " Scyragild." See ante,
" Kingelde."

Scutage, escuage, escutagium (175, 186, 217, 236, 256, and else-

service in the king's army. It denoted servitium scuti, the service of the
shield, and was wont to be rendered thus, viz. . for every knight's fee, the

service of one knight ; for every half fee, the service of half a knight ; and so
in proportion. Baronies were charged with scutage in the same manner, i.e.,
according to the number of the knight's fees whereof the barony consisted. The
service of scutage was performed either personally in the king's army, or else
by a pecuniary commutation. The term scutage, however, was generally used
in the latter of these two senses, and was understood to be a composition in
money for actual military service. In some instances it was ^early allied to an
aid, q. V. See Madox, Hist. Exch., c. i6 ; Digby, Real Property, p. ii6;
Stubbs, Select Charters, p. 364; also Kennett, Glossary, s.v. scutagium.

Serjeanty, Grand, tenure by, was a species of tenure by knight

service of the king only, whereby the tenant was bound, instead of serving the
king generally in his wars, to do some special honorary service to the king in
person, as, to carry his banner or sword ; or to be his butler, champion, or other
officer at his coronation ; or to do some real service, such as keeping the gate
of York Castle, or conducting the king's treasure through the county. See
" Service " for references.

Serjeanty, Petty, tenure by, was a socage tenure, and consisted

in holding lands of the king only by the service of rendering to him yearly
some small thing pertaining to war. See c. 27 of Magna Charta, g Hen. III.
See "Service" for references.

Service. The rent return or duty owing from a vassal or tenant

to his lord by reason of his tenure or holding. The two great classes of lay
services were/re«, or those due from free men, and non-free, or those due from
villeins and others holding in villenage. Another class of services was those
due from tenants in frankalmoign and tenants by divine service. The following

number of knights, variously stated to be thirteen and a quarter, and twenty,
but the instances given by Madox f Baronia Anglica) axe much more varied ; and
to attend the Curia Regis, or king's court, and the great council at the grfeat
festivals and at other times when summoned, and to do homage and fealty.
There were also the same incidents as in tenure by knight service, i.e., aids,
relief, wardship, marriage, &c., Madox, Hist, of Exch.

Service of free men, to hold in (5, 103). That is in free socage.
See " Socage."

Service, knight (193 and elsewhere). Tenure by knight service
was esteemed the most honourable species of tenure. For this tenure a
quantity of land was necessary, the area of which was uncertain, but the
annual value of which was fixed at ;£'2o at an early period, probably in the
reign of William the Conqueror (See p. i88 ante.) This holding constituted
a knight's fee, and he who held it was bound to do homage and fealty to his
lord, and to attend him to the wars for forty days in every year if called upon,
which attendance was his redditiis or return, his rent or service for the land he
claimed to hold. In lieu of personal attendance, however, a money payment
called scutage or escuage was eventually accepted (See ante, " Scutage."

3o8 GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

Under the provisions of the Assize of Arms passed in 1181, the holder of a
knight's fee must possess a coat of mail, a helmet, a shield, and a lance, and
every knight was to have as many of these arms and weapons as he had
knight's fees. A tenant by knight service might hold either of the king or of
a subject, but in either case he was liable to do homage and fealty to his lord.
The tenure drew to it seven incidents, viz. : aids, relief, primer seisin, ward-
ship, marriage, fines for alienation, and escheat.

Service of conducting the king's treasure, through the county (46)

was a species of grand serjeanty. In the York Volume of the Archceological
Institute, pp. 2i — 4, are some interesting notes by the Rev. Joseph Hunter,
"respecting Travelling and the Transmission of Treasure, chiefly in the
northern parts of the kingdom in the reigns of Edward I., II., and III.

Service, royal or foreign (see "Service" for references) servitium

regale vel forinsecum. So called because it was due to the king and not to the
immediate lord, whose service was termed " intrinsic," i.e., servitium intrin-
secum. See Bracton, vol. i., p. 283.

Sessum juncorum (iig). A plot of rushes. See Du Cange, s.v.

sedes, 4.

Sikettus, x«^eiM5 (30, 31, 210). A small stream or watercourse. A

ditch, a sike. Du Cange, s. v. sica.
Situs (140). A site or situation, the berth of a ship.
Skeppa, sceppa, esceppa, escheppa, eskeppa (140). A skep or

basket. An ancient measure of corn, meal, or salt, the exact size of which is
uncertain. See Du Cange; also Kennett, Glossary, s.v. "Sceap"; Jacob,
Law Diet., i. V. "Esceppa," "Sceppa"; and Bosworth, A. S. Diet., o. v.
"Seep."

Socage (17, 32, 35, log, 204). Lyttleton (Tenures, book ii., c. 5),

says that tenure in socage is where the tenant holdeth of his lord the tenancy
by certain service for all manner of services, so that the service be not knight's
service. As where a man holdeth of his lord by fealty and certain rent, for all
manner of services, or else where a man holdeth his land by homage, fealty,
and certain rent for all manner of services ; for homage of itself maketh not
knight's service. Also a man may hold of his lord by fealty only and such
tenure is tenure in socage. Socage is so called from soca a plough, because in
ancient time, great part of the tenants that held of their lords by socage,
ought to come with their ploughs, every of the said tenants for certain days in
the year to plough and sow the demesnes of the lord. Thereby they were
quit against their lords of all manner of services, &c. Afterwards these
plough services were changed into an annual rent by agreement between the
lord and the tenant, but the name still continued, and free socage or freehold
tenure is now the tenure under which by far the greatest portion of the land
in England and Wales is held ; the Statute 12 Car. II., c. 24, having enacted
that all sorts of tenures, held of the king, or others, be turned into free and
common socage, save only tenures in frankalmoign, copyholds, and the
honorary services of grand serjeanty. Tenure by petit serjeanty, tenure in
burgage, and gavelkind tenure, being all varieties of socage tenure were not
abolished by the above mentioned Statute, and continue to the present time.
Besides free socage, there were socage in ancient tenure, or ancient demesne,
and socage in base tenure, or villein socage, both of which are now merged in
copyhold tenure.

Soke, soca (207). Jurisdiction. A liberty, privilege, or franchise
granted by the king to a subject; also the area or territory within which that
franchise is exercised.

GLOSSARY AND NOTES. 309

Sokemen (74, 186). Tenants holding their lands and tenements in

socage, q.v. There were various classes of sokemen, e.g., free and villein,
and those holding in ancient demesne, and those outside. The free sokemen
were in some Extents of manors distinguished from the free tenants (as in
page 186), but the distinction between the two classes of tenants is not clear.
See Vinogradoff, s.v. " Socmen." Also Scrutton's Commons and Common
Fields, s.v. " Socmanni."

Stalla, or stallum (50). A moveable stall or stand in a fair or
market.

Steward, seneschallus (26). The lord's chief officer in a manor,
his legal adviser, and the guardian of his rights. It was his duty to hold the
manorial courts, and to exercise a general supervision over the manor, its
officers, tenants, stock, &c.

Subbang' de la mare (81). Seaweed used for litter and manure.
Superannatus (248). Over one year of age. Applied to animals.

See Du Cange, and the examples there given.

Suit of Court, secta curiae (75, 93, 103, 118, and elsewhere). The
service of attending at the lord's court which the tenants were bound to do.
A note to Lyttleton's Tenures, p. io8, says: — " Suit service is to come to the
court from three weeks to three weeks by the whole year, and for that a man
shall be distrained, and not amerced. Suit real is to come to the court of leet
and that is but two times in the year, and for that a man shall be amerced and
not distrained." In practice, however, the free tenants were amerced for
non-attendance at the court baron.

Tallage, taillagium, talliagium (27, 46, 125, 216). A tax or toll

paid either to the king or to a subordinate lord. The king's tallage was either
levied at his will on the Jews or on his demesnes, escheats, and wardships,
and upon the burghs and towns of the realm. When paid out of knight's fees
it was called scut-age, when paid out of the lands which were not of military
tenure, it was called hidage or carucage, and the term was generally applied
to a tax on burghs and towns. Madox, Hist. Exch., c. 17. Stubbs, Const.
Hist., s.v. " Tallage." There are instances of tallage payable to an inferior
lord in Select Pleas in Manorial Courts, Seld., vol. ii. As to tallage
payable by burghs and towns, See Madox, Firma Burgi. The latter writer
{Hist. Exch., c. 17) says, tallage also means donum and assisa, and Coke
(11. Inst., p. 532), says the word "doth include all subsidies, taxes, tenths,
fifteenths, impositions, or other burthens or charges put or set upon any man."

Tallage or Talliate, to (77). Talliare, to levy tallage.

Talliated (42 — 4, 46, 77, 79, 216). Taxed by tallage.

Tenure. The mode of holding an estate feudally ; the holding

itself. The development of tenure seems to have been one of the results
of the Norman Conquest. The result was not brought about by any positive
enactment, but was due to the introduction of Norman customs and ideas, and
their combination with Anglo-Saxon customs and ideas. Thus was produced
what is called the feudal system, or the feudal mode of holding lands, the five
marks of which were (i) hereditary succession, (2) reliefs, (3) wardship and
marriage, (4) aids, and (5) escheats. Stubbs, Const. Hist., vol. i., p. 433«.
The feudal system seems to have been in full operation in the reign of Hen. I.
The spiritual tenures were (i) tenure in frankalmoign, (2) tenure by divine
service. The four principal lay tenures were (i) by knight service, (2) by free
socage, (3) by pure villenage, (4) by villein socage. The two latter tenures
are now merged in copyhold tenure, and tenure by knight service is now by
the operation of the Stat. 12 Car. II., c. 24, converted into free socage or the
ordinary freehold tenure of the present day. See also s.v. " Drengage," ante.

310 GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

Tinctura (69) means primarily a dyeing or staining. Here it seems

to be used in place of tinctoria or tincturia, a dyehouse. See Du Cange, s.v.
tinctoria, tincturia. For another form of the word, see ante, p. 230 n.

Tingnum, tignum (72). A beam or rafter.

Toft (viii., XLV., XLVi.) By most authorities, legal and others, said
to be a piece of ground wherein a house has stood. Thorpe (Ancient Laws
and Customs of England) says it is a piece of land adjacent to the house of a
peasant. See also Boldon Buke.

Tolcester or tolcestre (65). A toll paid for licence to brew and sell

ale. See Custumals of Battle Abbey. Compare " ToUale " in vol. ii., p. 367 »,
of the Whitby Chartulary ; see also Blount's Law Diet., s.v. " Tolsester," and
" Gavelsester."

Tollonium, teolonium, theoloneum, tolnetum, toll (79, 81, 136, 198).

A payment for liberty to buy or sell on the lord's land ; a payment for goods
sold in any fair or market within a manor ; a payment on the return of unsold
cattle from a market or fair ; a. payment for the privilege of passage over
private grounds, ferries, bridges, &c. ; a payment for the right of making and
vending [e.g., beer, as to which see " Tolcester") or for the privilege of using
the lord's oven, which latter payment was called " Furnage," which see ; or
for the privilege of grinding corn at the lord's mill, as to which see " Multure."

Tresonce, tresoncia, trisantia (72). An ante-chamber or recess,

but more frequently a passage in a house, castle, monastery, or other place of
residence. See Parker's Concise Glossary of Architecture, 6th edition, p. 305 ;
Domesday of St.Paul's, xcix. ; and Promptorium Parvulorum,s. v. " Tresawnce,"
and the note thereto.

Trespasses made of vert and venison (112). Offences against

the forest laws with regard to vert and venison. See Manwood, u. 5 and 6.
Before the making of the Charter of the Forest, the punishment of a man
taken offending within the king's forest in killing his deer was very severe.
The loth chapter of the Charter considerably modified the punishment. Any
man cutting down or destroying vert, or even dry boughs, or doing anything
which caused waste or destruction in woods or grass within the precincts of a
forest, appears to have been considered a trespasser in vert, and " put to his
fine."

Turbary, common of (66, 223), is a right to dig turves [i.e., peat,

not green turf) in another man's land, or in the lord's waste, for fuel to burn
in the house. Elphinstone, Interpretation of Deeds; also Du Cange, s.v.
turba, turbagium; and Spelman, Glossary, s.v. turba.

Turf peny (240). Probably a payment for the privilege of cutting

turf.

Vaccary (49, 115, 138, 225, 230), vaccaria. Pasture for cows.
A cow pasture, sometimes a cow house.

Vasculum. A vessel or measure. See note a, p. 76.

Venison (112). "A word of art proper to beasts of forest and
beasts of chase, and none other. And therefore, by this word venison, it is to
be understood, that it is, and must be always one of the five beasts of forest,
or one of the five beasts of chase, or else the same is not to be called venison."
Manwood, t. v., s. ±.

Verderer (29, 30, iii, and elsewhere). A judicial officer of the
forest, chosen in full county by force of the king's writ. His office was to

GLOSSARY AND NOTES. 311

observe and keep the assizes or laws of the forest, and to view, receive, and
inrol the attachments and presentments of trespasses of the forest of vert and
venison. There were generally four verderers in each forest.

Vert (29, 112) is every tree, bush, or the like, which is of the nature

of wood or underwood, and bears green leaf which may hide or cover a deer
under it. Manwood (c. 6, s. i) says there are three special causes why the
forest laws have so carefully provided for the preservation of the vert of the
forest. I. — To provide covert for the beasts of the forest. II. — To provide
food for them. III. — For ornament. Vert was divided into over vert, or hault
boys, and nether vert, or south boys ; the former comprising great trees, and
the latter all underwood, bushes, thorn, gorse, and the like. "The forest
lawyers have also a third sort of vert, which they do call special vert, which
is every tree and bush within the forest that doth bear fruit to feed the deer.

and the reason why they do call the same special vert is, because the

offence in destroying of such vert is more highly punished than the offence in
the destruction of any other vert." Manwood, c. 6, ». z.

Vesture, vestura terrce. The profits of the land, i.e., the corn,

grass, underwood, sweepage, or mowing, and the like.

View, visus (i8, 238). Inspection, also judgment.

Villein or villan, villanus (xlv.,, and elsewhere), is a term to which it
is difficult to give a precise and definite meaning in a few words. Stubbs ( Const.
Hist., vol. i., p. 486) says " the villani of Domesday are no doubt the ceorls of the
preceding period, the men of the township, the settled cultivators of the land,
who in a perfectly free state of society were the owners of the soil they tilled,
but under the complicated system of rights and duties which marked the close
of the Anglo-Saxon period had become dependent on a lord, and now, under
the prevalence of the feudal idea, were regarded as his customary tenants,
irremoveable cultivators, who had no proof of their title but the evidence of
their fellow ceorls. For two centuries after the Conquest the villani are to be
traced in the possession of rights, both social and to a certain extent political,

and they were in the possession of considerable comforts." They

were safe in the possession of their homes, they had a remedy against the
violence of their masters, and they could obtain the rights of free men by
renouncing their holdings and taking refuge in a town ; and they could also
obtain manumission, which, however, was not an unmixed blessing. Villeins
are sometimes said to have been divided into villeins regardant and villeins in
gross. The former were bound to the vill or manor in which they lived, and
Seem to have been also called nativi or natives, and bondi or bondmen, of
whom many instances occur in these inquisitions. See pp. gg, i6g, and 24g,
also Inquisition xlv. throughout. Their holdings were of considerable extent,
the examples appearing in these inquisitions varying in size from half a bovate
to six bovates. They were said to hold these lands at the will of. the lord,
and subject to certain services of a servile character, of which instances
appear frequently in this volume. These servile services were in course
of time commuted for a fixed money rent, and the tenure of a villein became
the modern copyhold tenure. It will be noticed that many of the villeins
named in this volume hold at a money rent. Villeins in gross seem to have
been merely servi, or slaves, whom the lord could sell and dispose of as he
thought fit. They seem to have had no proprietary rights. Villeins are also
said to be divided into natives, or bondmen by blood, and villeins by tenure,
i.e., free persons of low degree who held land upon performing servile offices
for the lord. Cottars also and gresmen, who appear as separate classes in
these inquisitions, seem to have been subject to base services, and they were
gradually confounded with the villeins as were also the bordars and others.
See further on this subject, Stubbs, Const. Hist., vol. i., p. 484, vol. ii., p.
493, and a learned note by Mr. Finlason in his edition of Reeves' English
Law, c. iii. ; also Lyttleton's Tenures, bk. i., chapters 10 and 11, and Vino-
gradoff's Villainage in England, and the many authorities quoted by him.

312 GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

Villenage, villenagium (2, 3, 12, 14, 209, and lxxxii., &c.), was a

base tenure of lands or tenements, whereby the tenant was bound to do such
base or villein services as his lord commanded, or as were fit for a villein to
perform. Villenage was divided into pure villenage and villein socage. By
the former the tenant was bound to do whatever service his lord commanded ;
by the latter he was bound to the performance of services agreed on between
him and his lord, such as ploughing, reaping, mowing, carrying, &c.

Virgate, or yard land. Said by some writers to be the iypical

holding of a serf or villein in the open fields of a manor, but this statement
does not hold good for the North of England, where the bovate or oxgang
appears to have been the unit of the bondman's holding (Inq. XLV., and also
p. 249 ante). The virgate was of varying measurement but normally about
30 acres (10 acres in each of the three fields in scattered strips). So called
from the land being measured out with a rod, virga, into acres four rods wide.
See Seebohra, pp. 60, 171, 389, and Vinogradoff, pp. 148, 238.

Vivary (7, 222, 226). A place in land or water where living things
be kept. A park, warren, or fishpond.

Vouch to warrant, further vouch (184). When an action for

the recovery of property was commenced against a man, who alleged that
he had acquired it from a third person, he could vouch that third person to
warranty, i.e., call upon him to defend the title to the property. The person
vouched could in his turn further vouch another person. These terms were for
centuries well known in connection with the fictitious action for barring an
estate tail, called a Common Recovery.

Waif, waivium (211) is properly a wandering flock that no one
seeks, follows, or protects. Du Cange. They belonged to the lord of the
franchise where they were found, but he was under obligation to have them
cried and published in the markets and churches near about, so as to establish
a title against the owner. " The jury say that a cow has come as a waif, and is
in the Abbot's Court." Pleas in the Manor Court of Elton of the Abbot of
Ramsey, vol. ii. Seld. Soc, p. 93. Waif, weif, wayf, gwayf, weyvium, waivium,
meant also a thing lost, and also the goods which a thief having stolen, leaves
behind him in his flight. The term is also used of the goods of a man which
being pursued as a felon he leaves behind in his flight. These waifs also
became the property of the lord under certain conditions.

Waldcroft (145). Probably a croft or enclosure of woody ground.

See Du Cange, s.v. gualdus.

Wallura (28). Walling.

Walwa, valva (72). A leaf or fold of a door or gate.

Wapentake Court or hundred court (118, 154, 202). The court

of the wapentake or hundred having both civil and criminal jurisdiction, and
dating its origin to Anglo-Saxon times. Eventually in many instances it
became identical with the court of a large manor or honour. See Stubbs,
Const. Hist., vol. i., c. 5. The hundred court belonged to the crown of
common right, and could only be acquired by a subject by grant from the
crown or by prescription.

Ward (257, 266,), was the custody of a town or castle, which the
inhabitants or tenants were bound to keep at their own expense. Also the
same as "Wardpenny," which was a payment made as a commutation for
the duty of keeping guard in a town or castle, or as a tax in aid of the cost
of keeping watch and ward. See Du Cange, s.v. " Warda," "Wardpeni";
also Domesday of St. Paul's, Ixxviii. — Ixxxi. Compare " Castleguard."

GLOSSARY AND NOTES. 313

Wardship (i6»), Ward (41, 209, 268). An important incident of

feudal tenure. At the death of a tenant by knight service, his heir male being
under the age of twenty-one years, the lord had the lands held of him during
the heir's minority. Where the heir was a female, the wardship ceased at her
age of fourteen or sixteen, according as she might be married or unmarried at
the death of her ancestor. Lyttleton, Tenures, bk. ii., c. 4. Where the tenure
was in socage, the next friend of the heir to whom the inheritance could not
descend, had the wardship of the land and of the heir until the latter attained
the age of fourteen years. But the profits of the land were for the heir's
benefit. Lyttleton, Tenures, u. 5.

Warrecta 178). Fallow ground.

Warren (83, 129). A franchise or place privileged either by

prescription or grant from the king to keep beasts and fowls of warren, which
are hares, conies, partridges, and pheasants. A warren need not be enclosed.
See "Chase," "Forest," "Park."

Wayda (50). Woad.

Withernam (34) " is the taking or driving of a distress to a hold,

or out of the county, so that the sheriff cannot upon replevin make delivery
thereof to the party distrained, in which case a Writ of Withernam is directed
to the Sheriff for the taking of as many of his beasts that did thus unlawfully
distrain, or as much goods of his, into his keeping, until he hath made
deliverance of the first distress. Also if the beasts be in a fortlet or castle,
the sheriff may take with him the power of the county, and beat down the
castle, as appears by the Statute of Westminster the First, c. 20." Ternies de

to have been a fowl given to the lord for licence to gather wood. Vinogradoff,
p. 290. See " Woodgeld" in Blount's Law Diet., and Coke, iv. Inst., c. 73,

Wreck of the Sea (147 — 9) is defined by the Statute of West-
minster the First, c. 4. The following is Ruffhead's translation. " Concerning
wrecks of the sea, it is agreed, that where a man, a dog, or a cat escape quick
out of the ship, that such ship nor barge, nor anything within them, shall be
adjudged wreck ; (2) but the goods shall be saved and kept by view of the
sheriff, coroner, or the king's bailiff, and delivered into the hands of such as
are of the town where the goods were found ; (3) so that if any sue for those
goods, and after prove that they were his, or perished in his keeping, within a
year and a day, they shall be restored to him without delay, and if not, they
shall remain to the king, and be seised by the sheriffs, coroners, and bailiffs,
and shall be delivered to them of the town, which shall answer before the
justices of the wreck belonging to the king; (4) and where wreck belongeth to
another than to the king, he shall have it in like manner; (5) and he that
otherwise doeth, and thereof be attainted, shall be awarded to prison, and
make fine at the king's will, and shall yield damages also ; (6) and if a bailiff
do it, and it be disallowed by the lord, and the lord will not pretend any title
thereunto, the bailiff shall answer, if he have whereof, and if he have not
whereof, the lord shall deliver his bailiff's body to the king." See also the
Statute De Officio Coronatoris, 4 Edw. I., Stat. 2.

■Writ of certiorari (150, 187, 200) is generally understood to mean

a writ for the removal of proceedings from an inferior to a superior court.
The examples given in this volume, are writs directing enquiries of various
kinds.

314 GLOSSARY AND NOTES.

Writ of right (34) was a form of real action, the object of which
was to determine a disputed right of property in the land. Digby's Real
Property, p. 71.

Writ of novel disseisin. A form of real action for recovering

seisin of lands and hereditaments. Commonly called an assize of novel
disseisin. Digby's Real Property, c. ii., sec. g. See also Bracton, book iv.

Writ of quo warranto is a writ that lies against him who usurps

any franchise or liberty against the king. Blount, Law Diet.

Writ of diem clausit extremum (237 n.] was a writ that issued
out of the chancery to the escheator of the county upon the death of any of
the king's tenants in capite, to inquire by a jury of what lands he died seised,
and of what value, and who was his next heir. Blount, Law Diet.

W^rit of ad quod damnum (187) is a writ that lies to the sheriff

to inquire what hurt it may be for the king to grant a fair or market in any
town or place ; or for the king or any other person to grant any lands in fee
simple to any house of religion or other body politic. For in such case the
land so given is said to fall into a dead hand, so that the chief lords lose all
hope of heriots, service of court, and escheats. Blount, Law Diet.

Year and day (19, 256, 260). See note page 256.

Yolstock (244). The payment of izd. at Christmas, called " Yol-

stock," was probably a payment in lieu of the service of carrying wood, and
may therefore be the same as " Woodsilver," as to which see Domesday of St.
Paul's, Ixix. This payment differed from " Woodgeld," which was a payment
foj the privilege of cutting wood in a forest. Blount, Law Diet.. Spelman,
Glossary.
